fabric. If you choose to use mesh in a design, you will
be asked to sign a waiver. The waiver states that Elite
Sportswear will not be responsible for replacing or
repairing your garment(s).
5. Color transference or color bleed occurs when a white
or light color fabric is combined with a bright or dark
color fabric. This is a common industry problem and
can become more obvious under certain conditions,
especially when a light color garment is worn under
a dark color warm up or short and/or when damp
garments are left in gym bags. It is impossible for Elite
Sportswear to guarantee that our fabrics will not bleed,
even by following proper washing instructions, due to
the individual nature of each athlete’s wear/washing
procedure. The following is a list of fabrics that may
be at greater risk for color bleed, when combined
with white or light color fabrics: Berry Mystique, Black
Mystique, Navy Mystique, Red Mystique, and Merlot
Mystique. You are free to order any fabric and color
combination, but please do so with great discretion.
If you choose to combine light and dark colors, Elite
Sportswear will not be responsible for replacing your
garment(s) if color bleed occurs.
6. Fabric softeners negatively affect the adhesives used in
our garments, causing the foil on our fabrics to discolor
and the embellishments to fall off.
IMPORTANT WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL FABRICS:
Garment(s) must be washed separately. Turn garment
inside out. Use a mild liquid detergent, gently hand
wash in a large volume of cold water. Rinse immediately.
DO NOT allow garment to soak. Pat dry with a clean
towel and use a thick plastic hanger to air dry.
DO NOT use fabric softeners. Fabric softeners
negatively affect the adhesives used in our garments,
causing the foil on our fabrics to discolor and the
embellishments to fall off.
DO NOT dry clean. Dry cleaning uses harsh chemicals
that can damage the fabric finishes and embellishments
used in our garments.
DO NOT iron. The heat from an iron can melt and/or
discolor the delicate fabrics in our garments. Excessive
heat can also weaken the adhesives used to attach the
embellishments to the garment and cause them to fall
off.
