Road Holland Den Haag care

I've got a Road Holland Den Haag jersey that now fits. It's grey and the care instructions are printed in very fine lettering and silver so I can barely make it out.
Does anyone know how to wash these? I can't even recall if the fabric is wool or polyester.

I believe those can only be washed in a "Bike-O-Worsher" (delicate cycle)

Road Holland jerseys were a Sportwool–type product, which is Merino/polyester blend, very similar to Rapha Jerseys. They do well in the delicate cycle, and on low heat in the dryer. You also can’t go wrong with hand wash/hang dry.
Slightly 0T, but reminds me of a three-way jersey comparison I did a few years back:

Wash it in Woolite, cold water, machine, delicate cycle...lay flat to dry(not on a hanger)

OK, now we're good... !

Appreciate the effort here, but no cigar.

Made me laugh.

You can't read that?

"Hand or machine wash on gentle cycle in cold water using a mild detergent. Drip dry. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean."

There ya go. That's how you should be washing all of your cycling stuff anyways.
