To use this hoodie, simply put it on like any other hoodie. You can use the front pockets to keep your hands warm when it's cold or carry small things like keys or your phone. When it comes to maintenance, just throw it in the washing machine with cold water on a gentle cycle and use mild detergent. After that, hang it up to dry. Don't use bleach as it might damage the fabric. Also, keep in mind that the color you see on your screen might be a bit different from the actual hoodie because of monitor settings.
