GOOSE DOWN
We're delighted that you have a Goose Down garment – they're incredibly easy to care for.
- Spot Cleaning: Spot cleaning is preferable over washing, as it helps extend the life of your garment. Simply spot clean any stains or spills with a mild detergent and cold water.
- Machine Washing: When it's time to wash your Goose Down garment, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. This ensures that the delicate down filling is properly cleaned without damaging the fabric.
- Tumble Drying: After washing, tumble dry your garment on a low heat setting. This helps fluff up the down filling and ensures even drying without causing damage.
By following these simple care instructions, you can keep your Goose Down garment looking and feeling its best for years to come.
Goose Down garments are perfect for travel as they compress easily in a suitcase. However, air travel can sometimes leave Down coats flattened due to changing air pressures. If you notice your Goose Down garment has become too flat, here's what you can do:
- Shake It Out: Give your garment a good shake to fluff up the Down filling and restore its loftiness.
- Tumble Dry Method: Alternatively, you can place your garment in the dryer on a 'tumble' setting with no heat for about 10 minutes. Optionally, add a tennis ball to the dryer to help agitate the feathers inside and restore the garment's loft.
By following these simple steps, you can easily revitalize your Goose Down garment and keep it looking and feeling its best, even after travel.
Goose Down garments naturally fluff up on their own, and they may become extra fluffy during travel due to changing air pressures.
As you wear your Down coat, the feathers will naturally settle, leading to a more relaxed appearance.
If you find that your coat is still too puffy for your liking, you can give it a gentle wash. Follow these steps:
- Machine Wash: Use a gentle, cold water machine wash to clean your Down coat. This will help relax the Down and reduce its puffiness.
- Low-Heat Tumble Dry: After washing, tumble dry your coat on a low-heat setting. This will further help to relax the Down while maintaining its softness and lightweight warmth.
By following these care instructions, you can adjust the fluffiness of your Goose Down garment to your preference, ensuring that it remains comfortable and stylish.
To prolong the life of your coat, handle the jacket snaps and drawstrings gently with both hands. Our Goose Down Jackets are crafted with high-quality nylon for both the outer and inner linings. While this nylon boasts durability and a tight weave, aggressive pulling, especially with our metal snap closures and drawstrings, can cause wear over time. Remember: Treat your clothes with care, and they'll last longer, ensuring continued comfort and style.
COTTON
Maintaining your cotton garments is easy with these simple tips:
- Air Out Between Wears: Like many fabrics, cotton doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Simply hang your garment to air out, as natural fibers release odors and wrinkles more easily than synthetic fibers.
- Check the Care Label: Always check the care label on your garment for specific care instructions. While our general recommendation is to hand or machine wash with cold to warm water on a gentle cycle with like colors, your garment may have specific requirements.
- Proper Drying: After washing, hang your cotton garment or lay it flat to dry. Avoid high heat, as it can cause shrinking and damage to the fabric.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron your cotton garment on a low setting to remove wrinkles. Always check the garment's care label for ironing instructions.

Here are some tips to maintain the buttery softness of your Pima Cotton:
- Cold Water Wash: Wash your Pima in cold water using a mild detergent. Opt for small loads with similar colors to prevent color bleeding and maintain the vibrancy of your garment.
- Lay Flat to Dry: After washing, lay your Pima garment flat to dry. This prevents stretching or warping of the fabric as it dries, ensuring your tee retains its original shape and fit.
- Iron on Cool: If necessary, iron your Pima garment on a cool setting. Avoid using high heat, as it can weaken the fibers, especially in cotton tees with stretch. Gentle ironing will help smooth out wrinkles without damaging the fabric.
- Proper Storage: Store your Pima garment folded in a drawer rather than hanging it. Hanging may cause the neck and shoulders to stretch over time, compromising the fit and shape of your tee.

DENIM
Before wearing your denim garment for the first time, it's best to wash it, especially if it's in a darker shade.

Keep in mind that the color of denim may bleed during the first few washes, which could tint other articles in the same load."
This version maintains clarity while providing essential information about washing denim before the first wear to prevent color transfer and bleeding.

WOOL
Wool fibers possess antimicrobial properties that naturally resist odors and dust, making them low-maintenance garments. Follow these care instructions to keep your wool pieces in optimal condition:
- Air Out: Hanging your wool garment to air out is often sufficient to refresh it, thanks to wool's natural antimicrobial properties. This helps eliminate odors and allows the fabric to breathe.
- Spot Clean: For minor stains, use a wool-safe detergent such as Woolite with cool to warm water. Avoid rubbing the fabric vigorously, as this can lead to pilling. Instead, gently blot the stained area and lay the garment flat to dry.
- Proper Drying: Always lay your wool garment flat to dry to maintain its shape and prevent stretching. Avoid hanging wool garments while wet, as this can cause them to lose their shape.
- Dry Cleaning: For a thorough cleaning, we recommend dry cleaning your wool garment. However, spot cleaning as needed can help extend its lifespan between cleanings.
- Removing Pilling: Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool garments and can be easily addressed. Use a pilling comb or a gentle fabric shaver to remove any pills and restore the smooth appearance of the fabric.
