Tips on washing and caring for your jacket correctly
When you like inside your wardrobe, chances are that outerwear like coats and jackets are some of your most valuable and expensive items of clothing. And they’re usually not cheap for good reason. They’re thicker or made of more luxurious materials, and usually sport designs and styles that cannot be emulated by your average T-shirt.
How to care for and wash your outerwear
Whether your outerwear is a personal favourite hoodie or a corporate jacket lent to you, they’re certainly apparel that you have to take good care of. While most jackets are durable, some can also be incredibly fussy. Washing them haphazardly can run the risk of your jacket fading or bleeding colours, tearing, shrinking, and more.
Take care to read the instructions carefully before washing, especially if it’s a new custom jacket with a unique design because you might not know how the fabric will react to your washing machine’s settings.
Tips to help you take good care of different types of jackets
- Trench coats. Trench coats look effortlessly sophisticated and elegant. Fortunately, most trench coats are made of fabrics like cotton or polyester, which means that they are safe for washing machines. Use a gentle cycle when washing them.
- Leather jackets. Leather jackets are a classic choice for many fashion-conscious people, but they can be a bit tricky to care for. Keep your jackets dry, and keep them hung to avoid them from losing their shape.
- Hoodies and sweatshirts. These are usually safe to machine wash, but you have to be careful not to ruin the print design. Turn the hoodie inside out and remember not to use strong bleach, detergent, or fabric softener.
