Garment After Care

Painted Blazers & Denim

If your blazer/denim has fabric paint/Posca pens ONLY they can be washed on cool. These garments will have been heat set before sending out, however if you are concerned about the design, give it one last iron, inside out, before washing.

Any coats or blazers with embellishments such as gems, trims or patches are dry clean only to prolong the life of the added design. 

Leather Jackets

All leather jackets have an added protection of a clear lacquer. This should ensure the design stays on. These are dry/wipe clean only. 

Shoes & Boots

All shoes and boots have an added protection of a clear lacquer. This should ensure the design stays on the shoes or boots. These are wipe clean only. 

Spray Painted Shirts

These can be washed in the machine. I would suggest washing on cool and inside out. When it comes to ironing, ensure you iron inside out on the cotton setting - so you don't ruin your iron! The shirt will feel 'stuck' together but will easily peel away.

Tie Dye & Bleach (Acid Wash)

Anything tie dyed or bleached can be washed, on cool in your washing machine. The more you wash your item, the more the colours will fade. Please be aware that colour can transfer so please wash and dry your tie-dyed item separately from your other clothing.

When bleaching a garment, it does weaken the material, and over time and wear this can cause the garment to rip or tear - this is a normal after effect of bleaching!
