Washing Instructions:

Tribute Garments – Machine wash Tribute garments in warm water on the permanent press cycle using a mild detergent. To extend the life of your garment, double rinse to ensure all soap residue is removed. We also suggest washing your Tribute with a normal load of laundry.

Dry on permanent press or lower heat setting. Heat exceeding 130° F will permanently damade the fabric, deteriorate the foam filling, and void your warranty.

Do not use fabric softener in either the washing or drying process. Using any form of additives, such as bleach or fabric softener, will void your warranty.

Outer Jackets (OJs) & Variable Compression Jackets (VCJs) – Hand wash OJs and VCJs as frequently as needed to eliminate dirt and odor.

Dip in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water.

Lay flat to dry. Machine washing and drying may shorten the useful life of this garment.

OJs and VCJs need to be replaced every 6 months, depending on your wearing protocol, and are not covered under the Tribute warranty.
