Product Care
Machine wash at 30°C or below, on a regular cycle, using a liquid detergent and conditioner.
Hang to air dry after a quick shake, and to ease the ironing effort, always hang on a hanger. If possible, avoid direct sunlight unless the fabric is white, and never tumble dry.
Ironing is optional due to the relaxed nature of the shirt but is recommended for a pressed finish. It’s an easy fabric to iron: again use medium-high heat (150-200ºC), and finish by steaming. Our shirts should be ironed inside out.
We would always recommend rolling instead of folding to help reduce wrinkles.
