Washing

Because these are tailored, structured garments, dry cleaning is the safest way to keep the drape, seams and shoulder shaping intact. If you do wash at home, use cold water on a delicate/gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and wash the garment alone or with like colours.

Drying

Hang to dry on a sturdy, shaped hanger rather than tumble drying. If a dryer is unavoidable, use the lowest heat setting for the shortest time and remove while still slightly damp.

Ironing

Iron on a low-to-medium synthetic setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric. Steam lightly to release travel creases rather than pressing hard.

Bleach

Never use chlorine bleach — it will yellow and weaken the fibres. A small amount of oxygen-based stain remover can be used sparingly for spot treatment.

Storage

Store on a broad, padded hanger in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight, to prevent shine and colour fade along fold lines.

Washing

Machine wash in warm or cold water on a normal or gentle cycle with similar colours. Pure cotton is durable and handles regular washing well; use a standard detergent and avoid overloading the machine so the habit can move freely.

Drying

Tumble dry on low heat, or line dry for the best fibre life and least shrinkage. Remove promptly once dry to reduce deep-set wrinkles.

Ironing

Cotton irons best while still slightly damp, on a medium-to-hot setting. Press pleats and the collar first, then the body of the habit.

Bleach

Chlorine bleach is safe only on white, undyed pure cotton in small amounts; on any coloured habit use an oxygen-based bleach instead to protect the dye.

Storage

Fold or hang in a dry, well-ventilated space. Cotton is prone to mildew if put away even slightly damp, so let it air fully before storing.

Washing

Wash separately the first few times in cold water, by hand or on your machine’s gentlest cycle, using a mild detergent. Raw cotton is unbleached and unprocessed, so it softens and settles over the first several washes rather than arriving “finished.”

Drying

Air dry — lay flat or hang in the shade rather than tumble drying, which can pull the looser raw weave out of shape. Full sun over time can weaken the natural fibre and dull its tone.

Ironing

Iron on a medium heat while the fabric is still a little damp. Avoid high heat, which raw cotton’s coarser fibres take poorly compared to finished cotton.

Bleach

Do not bleach. Raw cotton is intentionally undyed and unbleached, and any bleach will damage the fibre and strip its natural texture.

Storage

Skip fabric softener, which coats and flattens raw cotton’s natural texture. Store fully dry, folded, in a breathable space away from damp.

Washing

Machine wash warm or cold on a normal cycle. This blend is built for regular, easy laundering — the everyday shirt of the wardrobe — and holds up well to frequent washing with a standard detergent.

Drying

Tumble dry on low and remove promptly. The polyester content means the shirt dries quickly and resists shrinking, but overdrying can set wrinkles.

Ironing

Poly-cotton’s whole purpose is minimal ironing — a light press on low heat, or simply smoothing by hand while still warm from the dryer, is usually all it needs. Avoid high heat, which can glaze the polyester fibres.

Bleach

Avoid chlorine bleach, which can yellow the polyester content over time. An oxygen-based bleach is safe for stubborn stains on white or clerical-collar shirts.

Storage

Hang immediately after drying to make the most of the blend’s wrinkle resistance and keep the collar and cuffs crisp between wears.
