Designed for the Long Game.
Your Matriarch Athletics apparel is engineered to deliver lasting performance, comfort, and durability. With the right care, it can continue performing the way it was designed-workout after workout, wash after wash.
For best results, always follow the care instructions on your garment's label, as recommendations may vary by product.
Washing
To help preserve the fit, colour, and performance of your apparel:
- Machine wash cold
- Use a gentle cycle
- Turn garments inside out before washing
- Wash with similar colours
- Use a mild detergent
- Remove garments promptly after the wash cycle
Washing in cold water helps reduce unnecessary wear while supporting colour retention, elasticity, and overall fabric performance.
Drying
Air drying is recommended whenever possible.
If machine drying is necessary, tumble dry on low heat and remove garments promptly once dry.
Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, as it may reduce the lifespan of elastic fibres and technical fabrics.
Avoid
To help protect your apparel, avoid:
- Bleach
- Fabric softeners
- Dryer sheets
- High heat
- Ironing directly over logos or printed graphics
- Dry cleaning unless specifically stated on the garment's care label
Fabric softeners can leave a residue on performance fabrics that may affect breathability and moisture-wicking performance.
Before Washing
For the best long-term care:
- Zip up jackets before washing
- Fasten bra hooks when applicable
- Separate light and dark colours
- Avoid washing with towels, denim, Velcro, or abrasive fabrics
Reducing friction during washing helps minimize unnecessary surface wear.
Sports Bras
To help maintain support and shape:
- Fasten hooks before washing
- Use a mesh laundry bag when possible
- Remove removable cups before washing
- Allow cups to air dry completely before reinserting them
Avoid twisting or wringing the garment.
Leggings
Our leggings are designed to move with you. To help preserve compression, stretch recovery, and shape:
- Wash inside out
- Avoid high heat
- Air dry whenever possible
- Avoid repeated contact with rough surfaces or Velcro
Jackets
Before washing:
- Close all zippers
- Turn the garment inside out
- Wash with similar lightweight apparel
Air drying is recommended to help maintain the garment's structure and finish.
After Training
Avoid leaving damp apparel in a gym bag for extended periods.
Allow garments to air out after training and wash them promptly after use whenever possible.
Storage
Store your apparel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Ensure garments are completely dry before folding or storing them.
Pilling & Surface Wear
Pilling can occur naturally over time through repeated friction with rough surfaces, equipment, bags, or abrasive fabrics.
To help reduce pilling:
- Wash similar fabrics together
- Avoid towels and denim in the same load
- Turn garments inside out before washing
- Minimize contact with Velcro and rough surfaces
