to stretch out the cuff ( or whatever it's called...the elastic part at the end of the hoodie)? they always start coming up and it's a real bugger..i tried stretching them out by putting them over a chair for like 5 days. it worked for a day, then it went in the wash and was back to normal.

When you first get it, wash it in delicate setting in the washer. Then let it hang dry. or, but it bigger. Other than that idk how to remove the elastic part.

My washer has a delicate setting. Just make sure you was it in cold-cold water. Not warm-cold or any other one.

If you want. if it's a hoodie without the zipper I'd say its a good idea. And also, when you wash the hoodie (if it has a zipper) make sure it's zipped up to aviod the wavy zipper effect.
