Sixty five dollars is a real amount of money for a hoodie, and you deserve to know exactly what you are getting for it. Here is what goes into a snouts piece, and how to care for it so it stays good for years.
What makes a snouts hoodie worth it?
Three things. First, the design. Every snouts mark is drawn from the snout, the one feature every owner knows by heart, so it reads as your breed to people who know dogs and as clean minimal style to everyone else. No loud graphics, no cartoon dog faces, just a considered mark.
Second, the make. Each piece is printed or embroidered to order on soft, mid weight blanks chosen for how they feel on day one and how they hold up on day one hundred. Made to order also means we are not dumping unsold inventory into a landfill at the end of a season.
Third, the story. snouts is family run, founded in 2021 in Summit, New Jersey, and named after a beagle named Dawson. You can read the whole story on our about page. When you wear it, you are carrying a little of that with you.
How do I wash a snouts hoodie?
The care routine is simple and it protects both the fabric and the design.
- Turn it inside out before washing to protect the print or embroidery.
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors.
- Use a mild detergent and skip the fabric softener, which can dull the fabric over time.
- Hang dry, or tumble dry on low if you are in a hurry.
- Never iron directly over a printed or embroidered area. If you need to press, do it inside out and avoid the design.
Will the design crack or fade?
Cared for the way above, no. Washing cold, drying low, and keeping heat off the design are what keep a print crisp and an embroidered mark tight for the long run. The fabric will soften with each wash, which is exactly what you want in a hoodie you plan to live in.
