General Garment Care Advice

These care recommendations have been chosen to give the best results in cleaning, drying and ironing. It is important that they are followed to maintain the good appearance and wear life of the garment.


1. Always wash dark and bright colours before wearing to prevent possible colour rubbing onto lighter garments or skin

 

2. Wash dark or bright colours separately to avoid staining of light colours in the wash

 

3. For best results do not mix fabrics with different fibre content in the same washload

 

4. Wash garments frequently to prevent heavy soiling
 

Ensure the Right Fit

Our jackets are crafted to ensure maximum longevity when worn correctly. We've taken into account wearer movement in the garment to lessen strain on the fabric and seams while wearing. Undersized garments undergo additional stress, are less comfortable, and may fail prematurely.

Avoiding Contamination

If the garment encounters acidic chemicals or cleaning agents, it will degrade and strip the cotton content of the fabric. Similarly, contact with potent alkalis such as oven cleaner and caustic soda will progressively weaken the polyester component. These interactions can result in premature failure of the garment and heighten the risk of fabric tearing.

Removing Stains

Meat juices and greases can leave colorless stains that need careful washing. If too much heat is used, the stain may set and turn yellow/brown. Stains can be removed with a gentle pre-wash at 35° followed by a regular wash at full temperature for the garment.
 

Using bleach on stains may not be the best choice as it can affect the garment's lifespan and colour vibrancy. Bleach should only used when trying to remove more apparent stains, like those left by beetroot and red wine, however you should still utilise a low dosage. This will usually still do a good job at removing the stains.


A cool pre-wash is always recommended for heavily soiled garments.

Preventing Piling and Fuzzing

We suggest washing similar fabrics together to prevent issues. If polyester is washed with polycotton, the cotton fibres may stick to the polyester, causing surface pilling. Washing them separately will keep both fabrics looking their best for longer.
