Garment Care Instructions

It's important to follow garment care instructions for several reasons. Knowing how to care for your garment to protect your investment is key to the lifespan of the garment and maintaining the garment's appearance. Each garment has a care instruction label. If deciphering those labels are not your thing, below are detailed instructions by fabric composition.

Cotton / Spandex Blends

This blend offers the natural comfort of cotton with the stretch and flexibility of spandex. Follow these steps to preserve both shape and softness:

  • Machine wash cold with like colors

  • Use mild detergent; avoid bleach

  • Gentle cycle preferred to protect elasticity

  • Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry

  • Cool iron if needed — avoid high heat, which can damage spandex

  • Do not dry clean unless garment tag specifies otherwise

Tip: Turn inside out before washing to extend the life of the fabric and color.

100% Cotton

To keep your garment looking its best:

  • Machine wash cold with like colors

  • Use gentle cycle and mild detergent

  • Do not bleach

  • Tumble dry low or hang to dry to reduce shrinkage

  • Warm iron if needed

  • Avoid dry cleaning unless necessary — cotton loves water, not chemicals

Pro tip: To maintain shape and color, wash inside out and avoid over-drying.

100% Linen

Linen is breathable, natural, and meant to be lived in — but it does best with a little care:

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors

  • Use mild detergent — avoid bleach

  • Do not tumble dry — hang or lay flat to dry to prevent shrinkage

  • Iron while slightly damp for a crisp finish (or embrace the natural wrinkles)

  • Avoid dry cleaning unless specified — water is linen’s friend

  • Store folded or on a hanger in a cool, dry space

Note: Linen softens with every wash — it only gets better with time.

100% Silk

Silk is a luxurious natural fiber—light, strong, and delicate. To preserve its beauty:

  • Dry clean recommended for best results

  • If washing at home:

    • Hand wash cold with a gentle silk detergent

    • Do not wring or twist – gently press out excess water

    • Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight

  • Iron inside out on low heat while still slightly damp

  • Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying

  • Store hanging or folded in a cool, dry place

  • Keep away from rough surfaces and sharp accessories to prevent snags

Note: Water spots may appear on some silks—test a hidden area before spot cleaning.

100% Wool

Wool is a natural, luxurious fiber that deserves mindful care. Here's how to keep your suit sharp:

  • Dry clean only – preferably infrequently to preserve fabric integrity

  • Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent for minor stains

  • Brush lightly with a clothing brush to remove surface dirt and lint

  • Hang on a wide, structured hanger to maintain shape

  • Let rest between wears – wool needs time to breathe

  • Steam to remove wrinkles – avoid using an iron directly

  • Store in a breathable garment bag when not in regular use

  • Avoid moths – use cedar blocks or natural repellents in storage

Note: Excessive dry cleaning can weaken the fabric over time. Aim for 1–2 times per season or as needed.

Wool / Elastane Blends

Wool blended with elastane offers both structure and stretch — care for it right to keep the performance and drape intact:

  • Dry clean only – avoid frequent cleaning to preserve elasticity and wool fibers

  • Spot clean gently with a damp cloth for small marks

  • Hang on a wide, shaped hanger to maintain the suit's silhouette

  • Steam to refresh and remove wrinkles — avoid ironing directly

  • Let rest between wears to allow the fabric to recover its shape

  • Avoid high heat — elastane can break down with prolonged exposure

  • Store in a breathable garment bag away from direct light and moisture

Tip: For best longevity, dry clean only when truly needed — typically every 5–10 wears.

  • Hang on a structured hanger to maintain silhouette
