At Dixxon, we don’t just make clothes; we build gear for the people who actually get their hands dirty.
But even the toughest gear needs the right intel to stay in the fight. We’ve all seen "premium" shirts that shrink into crop tops or fade faster than a cheap tattoo. That’s not how we roll. Our flannels are engineered for form and function, but if you want them to last a decade, you need to know the drill.
Here is the definitive guide to keeping your Dixxon kit looking as sharp as the day you unboxed it.
The Dixxon Standard: Engineered Performance
Before we get into the "how," let’s talk about what makes a Dixxon different. Most flannels on the market are made of cheap, thin cotton that pillsheavyweight, shrinks, and loses its shape the moment it sees a washing machine. We took a different path.
The Signature D-Tech™ Blend
Dixxon flannels are crafted from our proprietary D-Tech™ blend. While the world is obsessed with old-school cotton, we realized that cotton is often the enemy of durability. It holds moisture, wrinkles instantly, and has a nasty habit of shrinking when you least expect it.
Our D-Tech™ fabric is a specialized synthetic blend engineered to give you the soft feel of a classic flannel with the performance of modern workwear.
What D-Tech™ brings to the table:
- Zero Shrinkage: Forget the "wash cold and pray" routine. Our fabric stays true to size.
- Breathability: Moisture-wicking properties keep you cool when the heat is on and dry when you're working up a sweat.
- Wrinkle Resistance: Pull it out of the gear bag, shake it once, and you’re good to go. No iron required.
- Heavy-Duty Durability: D-Tech™ is an ultra-durable, heavyweight fabric designed to resist the abrasions of a working-class lifestyle.
| Feature | Dixxon D-Tech™ Blend | Standard Cotton Flannel |
|---|---|---|
| Shrinkage | Non-existent | High Risk |
| Ironing | Shake and go | Constant maintenance |
| Durability | Built for work | Built for fashion |
| Fade Resistance | High-saturation lock | Fades after 5 washes |
The Washing Ritual: Clean Gear, No Compromise
Look, we know you’d rather be out riding than doing laundry. That’s why we made these easy to maintain. But "easy" doesn't mean "careless." If you want to keep those colors vibrant and the new arrivals looking fresh, follow these rules.
1. The Pre-Game
Turn your flannel inside out. This is the oldest trick in the book. It protects the face of the fabric from the agitator and keeps the custom patterns locked in. Close the buttons—especially the hidden collar-stay buttons—to prevent them from snagging on other gear in the load.
2. Keep It Chill
Cold water only. High heat is the enemy of performance fabrics. Cold water cleans effectively while preserving the integrity of the weave. Plus, it’s better for the planet, which keeps the trails open for all of us.
3. The Detergent Situation
Use a mild liquid detergent. NEVER use bleach. Bleach will eat through the fibers and kill the colors we spent months perfecting.
- Pro Tip: Skip the fabric softener. D-Tech™ is already soft by design. Softeners can actually leave a film that clogs the moisture-wicking pores of the fabric, killing its breathability.
4. Don’t Over-Wash
You don't need to wash your flannel after every single wear unless you've spent the day covered in grease or mud. Our fabric is designed to resist odors. Hang it up, let it air out, and get another day out of it.
Drying and Storage: The Long Game
You’ve washed it right; don't blow it now by tossing it into a high-heat dryer.
Air Dry is King
If you have the space, hang drying your flannel is the best way to preserve the "Fighting Spirit" of the shirt. Because our D-Tech™ blend is moisture-wicking and fast-drying, it won't take all day. Hanging it on a sturdy hanger ensures the mitered edges and collars stay crisp and professional.
The Machine Dry Hack
If you’re in a rush to get to the show, you can machine dry, but keep it on Low Heat.
- Pro Tip: Remove the shirt while it’s still a tiny bit damp. This prevents static buildup and keeps the fabric from feeling over-processed.
Storage Tips for the Authentic Lifestyle
- Avoid the Sun: Don't leave your flannels hanging in the back of your truck or in front of a window where UV rays can bake the fabric.
- Button the Top: When hanging in the closet, button the top button. This helps the collar maintain its shape so you don't look like a slob when you put it back on.
- Stay Dry: Store your gear in a cool, dry place. Moisture is the only thing that can really take down a Dixxon by inviting mildew.
Battle-Tested Stain Removal
Whether it’s motor oil, beer, or taco sauce, life happens when you're living it. Dealing with stains quickly is the key to keeping your gear looking like it belongs at the front of the pack, not in the rag bin.
Spot Cleaning 101
Don’t toss the whole shirt in the wash for one small drop. Use a mild stain remover and a soft cloth. Blot, don't scrub. Scrubbing can fray the microfibers and leave a fuzzy spot.
Common Field Stains
- Grease & Oil: Apply a small amount of grease-cutting dish soap directly to the spot. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash cold.
- Blood: Use cold water immediately. Never use hot water on blood, or it will set into the fabric forever.
- Ink: A little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball usually does the trick—just test a small hidden area first to be safe.
Why Our Quality Matters to You
At the end of the day, Dixxon is about Authenticity and Relatability. We know you work hard for your money, and you shouldn't have to replace your wardrobe every season because of poor quality. By using a high gram-weight, specialized D-Tech™ blend, we ensure that Dixxon remains the gold standard for women's flannels and men's gear alike.
We believe in Work Hard / Stay Humble. Our gear is built to take a beating on the job site and still look good enough for a night out. Take care of your flannels, and they’ll be part of your story for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Dixxon flannel shrink if I accidentally put it in the dryer?
Our signature D-Tech™ blend is engineered to be shrink-resistant. While we recommend low heat or hang drying to extend the life of the fibers, you won't pull a "baby shirt" out of the dryer if you forget to hang it up.
Do I need to iron my flannel to keep the collar looking sharp?
No iron needed. We designed our flannels with hidden collar-stay buttons to keep that collar pinned down and crisp. The D-Tech™ fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant—just shake it out and wear it.
Can I use fabric softener on D-Tech™ fabric?
We recommend skipping it. Fabric softeners leave a coating on fibers that can interfere with the moisture-wicking and breathability of the D-Tech™ blend.
My flannel has a snag. Is it ruined?
Not at all. Because of our tight weave, snags usually stay localized. You can often use a needle to pull the thread back through to the inside of the shirt.
How often should I wash my flannel?
Only when it’s actually dirty. The beauty of our blend is that it doesn't hold onto odors or wrinkles like cotton. Less washing means the gear lasts even longer.
