Garment Care Guide

LABEL garments are made to last - here's how to keep the looking their best.

Shirts

Dry Cleaning

Dry cleaning is preferred to maintain the longevity of your shirts. If laundering at home, use cool water and hang to dry. Avoid starch — it breaks down cotton fibers and leads to brittleness over time.

Post-Wear Care

Hang shirts with the top collar button fastened and allow them to breathe outside your closet for 24 hours before storing. This helps reduce wrinkles and odor.

Steaming

Use a steamer between wears to refresh and remove wrinkles — it's gentler than ironing and helps maintain the fabric's integrity.

Pro Tips:

- Always remove collar stays before washing.

- Expect minor shrinkage (up to ¾") — we build in allowances, but your laundry method can affect results.

- Keep a rotation of shirts so each piece gets recovery time between wears.

Suits, Jackets & Trousers

Dry Cleaning

Only dry clean when absolutely necessary (2–3 times per year). Bring all pieces together to maintain uniform color and texture.

Spot Cleaning

Use a damp cloth and dab gently with mild detergent. Never scrub. A fabric brush is great for quick maintenance.

Steaming

Hold the steamer a few inches away and work in circular motions. Avoid steaming lapels directly and never iron jackets.

Post-Wear Care

Hang suits after wear and let them breathe for a few hours to release wrinkles and odors naturally.

Storage

- Use wide wooden hangers for jackets.

- Fold trousers over the crease and drape.

- Never machine wash.

Denim

Washing

Turn inside out, use cold water, and air dry. Over-washing fades dye and weakens the fibers. Spot clean or air out between wears.

Pro Tip:

Fresh air or a fabric spray can work wonders when your denim needs a quick refresh without a full wash.

Knits

Care

Dry clean only — these delicate pieces should never go in a washing machine.

Storage

Always store folded to prevent stretching. Use a fabric comb or sweater shaver to gently remove pilling.

Shoes

Daily Wear

Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row — they need at least 24 hours to rest and dry. When breaking in new shoes, limit wear to 2–3 hours at a time until they become more comfortable. Always use a shoe horn when putting them on to maintain the structure of the heel.

Post-Wear Care

Insert shoe trees immediately after removing your shoes to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. If exposed to rain or snow, insert shoe trees and let shoes dry on their sides away from direct heat for at least 24 hours.

Polishing

Polish shoes regularly to keep leather conditioned. Even if unworn for a while, apply shoe cream to prevent drying. For rich or burnished tones, use a neutral or slightly lighter polish to preserve the original color.
