Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your Belstaff Pendulum Down Jacket. The main fabric is 90% Polyester 10% Elastane.
- Read the Label: Always check the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed instructions.
- Washing: Generally, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with a specialized down cleaner (not standard detergent) or a mild, non-detergent soap. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore loft. Drying can take several hours, and it's essential to ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew.
- Avoid: Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair water-repellency and down loft.
- Storage: Store the jacket fully lofted in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods.
