General Washing & Maintenance
Wash Less: To maintain fabric structure and raw finishes, avoid frequent washing. Air out garments after wearing whenever possible.
Cold Water Only: Always hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cold water (max 30°C / 86°F) to prevent shrinkage and color fading.
Gentle Detergent: Use a mild, neutral detergent. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, or fabric softeners.
Wash Inside Out: Turn garments inside out prior to washing to protect surface textures, distressing, prints, and metallic hardware.
Drying & Garment Shape
Do Not Tumble Dry: Heat damages technical fibers, distressing details, and structure. Always line dry or lay flat to dry in the shade.
Shape While Damp: Gently reshape dark denim, twill, and structured heavy cotton garments while still damp before hanging.
Knitwear Care: Heavy knits and soft distressed tops should always be stored flat (folded) rather than hung to prevent stretching.
Ironing & Hardware Details
Steam Preferred: Use a garment steamer to remove creases and refresh fabric without crushing raw textures or causing shine marks.
Low Heat Iron: If using an iron, iron on low heat from the reverse side and use a protective pressing cloth.
Hardware Care: Fasten all zippers, buttons, and metallic buckles before washing to prevent snagging on raw edges or mesh panels.
