Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saddlehugger Breeches last, proper maintenance is essential. Always machine wash the garment at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can break down the elasticity of the fabric. It is crucial that these breeches are air-dried, as the high heat from a tumble dryer can shrink the cotton and damage the stretch fibers. Do not iron the material; hang them vertically after washing to allow wrinkles to release naturally.
