GENERAL CARE GUIDE
Most of our garments only need to be aired out and spot cleaned to be ready for another use. This will save cost and energy and will be a benefit to both ourselves and our planet.
If using a washer, wash in cold temperatures to extend the life of the garment, and the environment. Avoid dryer and air dry instead of tumbling.
Most of our garments are safe to wash in any home laundry machine, and we only recommend dry cleaning for specialty garments or items made out of extra carefully sourced materials such as leather outerwear, selected wools and cashmeres or silk.
Knitwear
Our knitted garments are exclusively made out of natural fibers, such as different wools, cotton, silk etc. To respect the nature of the fibers used, we have extra tolerance, patience and understanding for how these fibers may behave in our garments.
For garments made out of wool fibers it’s a natural process that the wool will pill for the first wears. For higher quality yarns, an excess of fibers are added when spun into a yarn, and the wool fibers will naturally have different lengths causing the shortest fibers to get out on the surface of a garment and will, if exposed to friction, eventually create pilling. You can easily remove pills with a comb or shaver.
Denim
We offer softly rinsed denim which may cause bleeding for the first wears due to indigo dye stuff left on the surface of the yarns that make up the denim fabric. We perform rubbing tests to keep bleeding within an accepted tolerance level, but this may still cause staining on lighter fabrics or clothes.
Regardless of wash or color, always wash your denim garments inside out. If you have a raw denim garment, it may shrink for the first few washes, as the fabric has not been pre-shrunk. Other washes may behave differently depending on fabric and treatment, and this is the nature of a denim garment.
