Garment Care

The care label sewn into your garment is always the instruction to follow. It is specific to that piece and its fabric. The guidance on this page is general good practice and never replaces the label.

• Wash with similar colours, and turn pieces with embroidery inside out
• Fasten buttons and zips before washing
• Reshape collars and plackets while damp and dry flat or on a hanger
• If ironing is allowed on the label, iron around embroidery rather than over it

• Wash less often; airing a knit between wears is often enough
• Never hang knitwear to dry. Lay it flat and reshape it by hand
• Fold sweaters, vests and cardigans for storage to keep the shoulders in shape

• Close zips and fastenings before washing
• Smooth pleats and creases into place while the fabric is still damp
• Hang trousers by the hem or fold along the crease to keep the line

• Zip fully before washing to protect the zip and the fabric around it
• Avoid fabric softener on outer layers unless the label says otherwise
• Let outer layers dry completely before storing

• Spot clean with a damp cloth where you can
• Avoid soaking or machine washing structured caps, which can lose their shape
• Let a cap dry on a rounded form, away from direct heat

Store pieces clean and fully dry, away from direct sunlight. When packing for a trip, fold knitwear and roll polos to reduce creasing, and unpack as soon as you arrive.
