PRO CARE TIPS
-
Store your t-shirts folded and lying flat in your wardrobe. Hangers can stretch out the fibers and cause hanger-bumps. If you insist on hanging your t-shirts, use a wide hanger that supports the shoulders and avoid hanging it by the neck label.
-
Don’t forget to insert the hangers from the bottom of the t-shirts to avoid unnecessary stretching of the collar.
-
To avoid stains in the armpit, go easy on the deodorant and make sure that you use aluminum-free or low-aluminum deodorant or antiperspirant.

PRO CARE TIPS
-
Oxford shirts are one of the few garments we actually recommend to keep on hangers in your wardrobe. Preferably on wide wooden hangers instead of wire hangers as they result in less stress on the fabric and sewing which makes your oxford shirts last longer.

SWEATER / CARDIGAN
Material: Wool
GENERAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Hand wash cold
-
Dry flat
-
Dry clean, any solvent except Trichloroethylene
-
Iron at low temperature, 110 C
-
Do not tumble dry
-
Do not bleach
-
Do not use softener
DETAILED WASH INSTRUCTIONS:
-
In principle, avoid washing as much as possible. Unlike cotton and synthetic fabrics, pure merino wool does not retain odors and will stay fresh without wash. Just air it out occasionally and it will be good as new.
-
If washing is needed, use detergent for delicates. If you machine wash, use wool program or hand wash cycle.
-
Air dry flat on towel. Remove as many folds or creases as possible. If needed carefully stretch it back to its original shape before drying, otherwise wearing will naturally remove creases and stretch the garment back to original dimensions.
-
If ironing is necessary, turn the sweater inside out and spray the garment with a little water before applying the iron to the garment surface gently. This will make crease removal easier
-
We recommend you to not use fabric softener because they coat the wool fibers and reduce the fibers ability to naturally manage moisture and regulate your body temperature.
PRO CARE TIPS
-
Store your sweater folded in your wardrobe, hanging it will cause stretching of fibers which can affect the length of the garment. Make sure that it is stored in a dry and cool place and avoid direct sunlight.
-
Avoid rubbing your sweater on structured surfaces to prevent garment from pilling. It’s quite uncommon thanks to the tight knit but may still occur.
-
Allow 1-2 days between wearing your merino sweater. This allows wrinkles to dissipate and the elasticity of the fibers to recover.

PRO CARE TIPS
-
Don’t be alarmed if your sweater starts to pill a little. Pilling is the natural formation of fuzzy balls on the surface of your wool sweater, which can occur in any parts of your wool sweater. It mostly appears on sleeves, armpits and the sides of the garment. It can easily be removed with a cashmere comb, carefully running down the garment without pressing down to hard. We can’t guarantee that it won’t occur but to reduce the risk of pilling, always turn our sweater inside out when washing and be careful while using it so you don’t rub it on structured surfaces.
-
Invest in a cashmere brush to clean your cashmere garments in between wearing and washing. Delicate yarns deserve delicate treatment and brushing the yarn rejuvenates the natural oils and will improve both the look and longevity of your sweater.
-
Allow 1-2 days between wearing your cashmere wool sweater. This allows wrinkles to dissipate and the elasticity of the fibers to recover
-
Keep your cashmere sweater folded in your wardrobe, hanging will cause stretching of fibers which can affect the length of the sweater. Make sure that your cashmere sweater is stored in a dry and cool place and avoid direct sunlight.
CHIFFON
Material: silk, nylon or rayon
You can wash chiffon by hand or in the washing machine. To extend the life of your chiffon garment, wear it as many times as possible before washing.
HAND-ON WASHING
-
Fill a tub or large bowl with lukewarm water.
-
Add one or two cupfuls of a mild liquid detergent. Swish the water and detergent around with your hand until suds appear.
-
Fold the chiffon garment in half so it's easier to wash.
-
Put the garment in the water, and swirl it around with your hand to clean it. The garment may release a small amount of colored dye into the water. This won't affect the way the garment looks.
-
Soak the garment in the soapy water for up to 30 minutes.
-
Rinse the chiffon in a bowl of clean water or under a stream of running water. Keep rinsing until all the soap bubbles disappear. Don't wring the fabric; this can damage its shape.
-
Place the chiffon flat on a bath towel. Put a second towel on top of the chiffon. Push down on the towel to press excess water out of the chiffon.
-
Remove the top towel and allow the chiffon to dry.
MACHINE WASHING
-
Turn the chiffon garment inside out and put it in a mesh laundry bag. The bag helps keep the garment from getting wrapped around the washing machine drum.
-
Place the garment in the washing machine by itself. Don't add other clothes to the machine because they can damage the delicate fabric.
-
Add a cupful of mild laundry detergent to the machine.
-
Set the washing machine to the "delicate" cycle and the shortest spin cycle. Wash the chiffon in cold water.
-
Remove the garment from the machine and lay it on a bath towel to dry. Press down on the chiffon with another towel to soak up excess water.
