The Golden Rule: Heat is the Enemy
Our cut fit track suits are built to last, but the biggest threat to their shape and fabric integrity is high heat. Both the durable polyester blends and the plush velour are sensitive to excessive heat, which can cause synthetic fibers to break down, leading to pilling and, in some cases, shrinking. Following a few simple steps guarantees your set stays sharp and comfortable.
Durability starts with quality design and ends with proper care. Explore our long-lasting, tailored sets and put these care tips to work on the Abby Fashions Mens Track Suits.
Washing Tips: Preventing Pilling and Fading

Preparation is Key
Before you even start the machine, take these critical steps: How to wash polyester jogging set
- Turn Inside Out: Always turn both the jacket and trousers inside out. This protects the outer surface from friction, which is the main cause of pilling (those little fiber balls).
- Zip Up: Fasten all zippers and drawstrings to prevent snagging and protect the fabric’s shape during agitation.
- Sort Wisely: Wash track suits with similar, lightweight fabrics. Avoid washing them with heavy items like denim, towels, or anything with rough metal zippers.
Machine Settings
Protecting the fibers is all about gentle treatment:
- Temperature: Use Cold Water only. This is essential for preventing fading, shrinkage, and damage to the synthetic materials.
- Cycle: Select the Gentle or Delicate cycle to minimize agitation.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and heavy-duty formulas.
The Velour Bonus Tip – How to Wash Polyester Jogging Set
For your Velour track suits, a delicate fabric, consider placing the items inside a mesh laundry bag for an extra layer of protection during the wash cycle. This prevents friction that can flatten the plush texture.
Drying and Storage: Protecting the Shape
The Ultimate Drying Method
- Air Dry Preferred: Air drying is the safest method. Lay the trousers and jacket flat on a clean surface or hang them on a sturdy hanger (avoid thin wire hangers that can stretch the shoulders). Keep them out of direct sunlight, which can cause color fading.
- If Using a Dryer: Use the Lowest Heat Setting (Tumble Dry Low) or the “Air Fluff” setting. Remove the items while they are still slightly damp to minimize wrinkles and static, and let them finish air drying. Never use high heat.
Dealing with Odor and Pilling
- Odor: Polyester can sometimes retain odors. To combat this, add a 1/4 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle, which naturally removes odors without damaging the fibers.
- Pilling: If pilling does occur, gently remove the pills using a fabric shaver or sweater comb.
With these simple steps, your cut fit track suit will maintain its shape and rich color for years of comfortable wear. Find the perfect durable mens track suits set to care for in the Abby Fashions online store today!
