Caring for your shirt

You dress for a life of action, which can take a toll on your shirts.

Our shirts come with step-by-step care instructions but here are some quick tips to keep your shirts prepped for your next move.

Washing

• Unbutton your shirt completely before washing.
• Wash in warm water for whites and light colors, cold water for darker colors.
• Wash thinner shirts on the delicate cycle, thicker on a normal cycle.
• Do not put shirts in the dryer. Air dry on a hanger.
• Or have your shirts washed and pressed at the local cleaners.

Ironing

• Unbutton the shirt completely before ironing.
• Use the hottest setting (“cotton” setting on some irons).
• Iron, by hand, in this order: back, sleeves, chest, collar, front.
• For the back and chest, use the narrow end of the ironing board to hook the shoulder of the shirt.
• Iron one side of the shirt at a time and keep the fabric flat against the board to avoid creasing.
• Iron sleeves from armpit to cuff. Do not iron the top of the sleeve to avoid a crease (unless you’re going for that look).
• Pop the collar when ironing. Iron from the center outward with greater pressure.
• Be aware of the buttons and any pockets when ironing.
