Product Care Advice & Tips

ADVICE & TIPS FOR LOOKING AFTER CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR  

CLOTHING

DO

 Always read the care label before washing and organise your laundry into groups with similar care instructions/colours

DON’T

Use too much detergent or detergents that contain bleach

Do not tumble dry unless indicated on the care label

Do not iron prints, trims or embellishments. If need be, iron on reverse or use a clean tea towel between the iron and garment

Do not leave garments with white and contrast coloured panels soaking for prolonged periods

Do not wash a garment if it says Dry Clean only

SUITS

 DO

Use a wishbone shaped hanger after wear

Invest in a clothes brush and brush your suit after wear; this will stop dirt settling into the fabric

Use a suit carrier for transporting suits and a cloth suit cover for when it is in the wardrobe

DON’T

Wear the same suit day after day – a suit needs 24 hours to air and breathe

Put the suit back in the closet straight after wear

Hang it in a well-ventilated area so any moisture in the wool dissipates and the fibres spring back into shape

FOOTWEAR

 DO

Invest in shoe trees – they allow recently worn shoes to contract and dry out to their ideal shape

Visit a cobbler when shoes need to be resoled.

Polish your shoes – the little time you spend cleaning and polishing will be repaid by the extended lifespan

DON’T

Put wet shoes near direct heat or a radiator – they may dry too quickly and cause the leather to crack. Instead push newspaper into the shoe and let it dry naturally

Leave salt stains (from road gritting) on your shoes. Instead, remove them with a little vinegar and water
