Care Guide

Look after your pieces and they'll look after you. Always check the care label inside each garment first, as it overrides the general guidance below.

Knitwear

  • Wash cool (30°C or below) on a gentle or wool cycle, inside out, or hand wash.
  • Dry flat on a towel. Never hang a wet knit, because it stretches.
  • Fold rather than hang to keep the shoulders in shape.
  • Remove bobbling with a fabric shaver or knit comb.

Shirts, overshirts & tees

  • Wash at 30°C with similar colours, buttons undone and inside out.
  • Hang to dry on a hanger to reduce ironing.
  • Iron cotton while slightly damp. Iron cord and printed pieces inside out.

Trousers, chinos & jeans

  • Wash less often, and inside out, to keep colour deep for longer.
  • Cool wash, then hang by the waistband to dry.
  • Avoid the tumble dryer to protect fit and length.

Coats, puffers & padded jackets

  • Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth first.
  • For padded pieces, follow the label. Many can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and dried on low with a couple of clean tennis balls to lift the padding.
  • Wool-blend coats: brush after wear and use a specialist cleaner when needed.
  • Store on a wide hanger, never compressed, over summer.

Footwear

  • Brush suede-finish shoes and boots with a soft suede brush once dry. Use a protector spray before first wear.
  • Wipe smooth uppers with a damp cloth, and clean white soles with a mild soap.
  • Use shoe trees or stuffed paper to keep shape, and let pairs rest a day between wears.

Activewear & underwear

  • Wash at 30°C without fabric softener, which can reduce stretch and breathability.
  • Line dry. Heat shortens the life of elastic.
