You didn’t buy a Dixxon because you wanted something delicate to sit in the back of your closet. Whether you’re wrenching in the garage, hitting a show, or out on a late-night ride, our women's flannels are built to handle the chaos. But even the toughest gear on the planet needs a little respect if you want it to last a lifetime.

We get it—maintenance isn't as fun as the adventure itself. However, our signature D-Tech™ blend is a specialized beast. It’s engineered to be breathable, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle-resistant, but if you treat it like a cheap rag, you’re doing it a disservice. Our community values quality and authenticity, and that starts with how you treat your kit.

If you want to keep your flannel looking as sharp as the day you unboxed it, follow this no-nonsense guide to washing, drying, and storing your Dixxon.

Washing: Respect the D-Tech™

The secret sauce of every Dixxon is our D-Tech™ fabric. It’s a proprietary blend designed to resist the shrinking and fading that kills standard cotton flannels. To keep those colors vibrant and the fit dialed, you need to ditch the scorching laundry settings.

The Dixxon Wash Protocol

• Flip It: Always wash your flannel inside out. This protects the outer face of the fabric from friction and pilling, keeping that rugged elegance intact.
• Cold as Ice: Use cold water on a gentle cycle. Heat is the enemy of synthetic fibers; it breaks them down and kills the "snap" of the fabric.
• Mild Only: Use a mild liquid detergent. Stay far away from bleach or "heavy-duty" industrial cleaners. They’ll eat through the fibers and ruin the mitered edges and hidden collar-stay buttons that make a Dixxon a Dixxon.
• No Softener: Fabric softeners leave a coating that clogs the moisture-wicking properties of D-Tech™. You want your flannel to breathe, not feel like it's coated in wax.

Drying: Hang It Up or Keep It Low

No matter how you style your gear—whether it’s part of a laid-back rotation or something you dress up from our office-ready collection—heat is still the fastest way to ruin the fit.

The "Stay Humble" Drying Strategy

• Hang Dry (The Gold Standard): After the wash, give the flannel a good shake to get the wrinkles out, snap the hidden collar buttons, and hang it on a sturdy hanger. It’ll dry fast thanks to the moisture-wicking tech, and it’ll keep its shape perfectly.
• Tumble Dry Low (The Quick Fix): If you’re in a pinch, use the lowest heat setting possible for about 10–15 minutes, then pull it out while it’s still slightly damp to finish air-drying.
• Never Iron: D-Tech™ is wrinkle-resistant for a reason. If you hang it right, you’ll never need an iron. If you absolutely must, use a steamer or the lowest "cool" setting on an iron to avoid melting the technical fibers.

Pro-Tip: Before you hang it, check the mitered cuffs and hidden collar buttons. Ensure they aren't folded over so they dry crisp and ready for action.

Storage: Give It Some Space

You wouldn't park a custom bike in a swamp, so don't cram your flannels into a damp, overstuffed drawer. Proper storage ensures that when you grab your favorite piece, it’s ready to go without a funky smell or a mess of creases.

• Cool and Dry: Store your gear in a climate-controlled area. Basements or garages with high humidity can lead to mildew, which is a nightmare to get out of technical fabrics.
• The Hanger Method: We always recommend hanging flannels over folding them. It maintains the integrity of the shoulders and keeps the front placket straight.
• Long-Term Care: If you’re rotating out your gear for the season, use a breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic bins that trap moisture; let the fabric breathe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I wash my Dixxon?

A: As little as possible. D-Tech™ doesn't hold onto odors like cotton. If it’s not visibly dirty, let it ride. Spot clean small stains with a damp cloth to maintain the fabric's integrity.

Q: I got grease or oil on my flannel. Is it ruined?

A: No, but act fast. Use a grease-fighting dish soap on the spot before you put it in a cold wash. Don't rub too hard—blot the stain to avoid pilling the fabric.

Q: Can I use starch?

A: You can, but you shouldn't. Starch builds up on the fibers and ruins the soft, durable feel of the D-Tech™ blend. Our collars are designed to stay sharp without extra chemicals.

Q: Will my Dixxon shrink if I accidentally put it in the dryer on high?

A: Yes. While D-Tech™ is more resilient than cotton, extreme heat will cause the fibers to contract. Always stick to low heat or air drying.
