A simple care routine

Follow your academy’s hygiene guidance and the product care label.

  1. After training

    Take your belt out of your bag.

    Let it air out and dry completely before folding or storing it in a closed space.

  2. Wash gently

    Follow the care label.

    Hand wash gently in cold water with similar colors. Avoid harsh bleach, stain treatments, scrubbing and wringing.

  3. Air dry fully

    Reshape while damp.

    Lay flat or hang with full support. Allow it to dry naturally and completely before the next session. Avoid machine drying.

Protect embroidery and patches.

Avoid scrubbing, twisting and heavy folds across stitched text, artwork, labels and rank details. Smooth the customized area after washing.

Heat can change the fit.

Cotton can shrink. Hot washing and drying increase that risk. Never use heat to adjust your belt size.

Frequent questions

How often should I wash my belt?
Follow your academy's hygiene rules and the care label. After every session, remove the belt from the bag and let it dry fully even when it is not being washed.
Can I use a washing machine or dryer?
Hand washing in cold water and air drying are the recommended methods. Machine drying and high heat can change the belt's length, feel, and embroidery finish.
Will a cotton belt shrink?
Cotton can shrink, especially with warm or hot water and machine drying. Avoid heat and use the size guide before ordering rather than planning to shrink the belt.
When is the belt ready to store?
Store it only after the fabric, bar, labels, and embroidery are completely dry. A ventilated area is preferable to a closed training bag.
