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.
