Jackets & coats

Proper jacket care

Be it a wool coat or a windbreaker made of synthetic fibres: every material calls for a different care routine. It is best to read the manufacturer’s label to find out the recommended wash temperature and cleaning method. If you follow these instructions and the tips below, your jacket will serve you well for many years and will continue to look as good as new.

• Empty all the pockets to make sure you haven’t left anything inside, such as a tissue. Close all buttons, zips and Velcro fasteners to prevent damage.
• A gentle wash cycle and delicate detergent should be used for sensitive materials. For wool jackets and jackets filled with down you should use a special detergent.
• Synthetic fabrics are often wind- and water-resistant. Special waterproofing sprays ensure that they retain these properties.
