It all depends what kind of material. But the general tip for new kit is;
Before you wear it, wash it in warm water, with a mix of detergent and vinegar.
-The detergent cleans out anything that got on the kit before you got it.
-The vinegar helps to set the dyes in the material (slows down fading, colors won't bleed).
-Aside from being gentle and not shrinking your kit, the warm water aids in the mixture of the vinegar.
I did this when I first got my most recent CADPAT shirt..just about a year ago. It still looks good next to mint CADPAT after all the washes and use I've put it through.
