Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for wool garments to prevent shrinkage, stretching, or damage. Always refer to the care label, but general guidelines for wool (material: Wool) are:
- Cleaning: Wool jackets are often best dry cleaned to maintain their shape and fabric integrity. If hand washing is an option (check the label carefully):
- Use cool water and a mild wool-specific detergent.
- Gently submerge and squeeze, avoiding harsh rubbing or twisting.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- > Info needed: Specific washing instructions from product label.
- Drying: Never put wool in a tumble dryer, as this can cause severe shrinkage. Instead, lay flat to dry on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape the jacket gently while damp.
- Storage: Store on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder bumps or distortion. Avoid hanging for extended periods in direct sunlight. For long-term storage, ensure it's clean and consider using breathable garment bags to protect from dust and pests.
- Pilling: Wool can pill, especially in areas of high friction (e.g., underarms). Use a fabric shaver or de-fuzzer to gently remove pills, restoring the fabric's smooth appearance.
