Washing

Approach shirt-washing with a delicate touch to ensure longevity. Machine washing is definitely better than dry-cleaning because the chemicals are bad for the cotton. Washing at a low temperature protects the fine fabric that the very best shirts are made from, and also helps it to retain colour for longer. We recommend washing at 40 degrees or even 30 degrees.

Drying

After washing, we advise not to use a tumble dryer, instead, we recommend leaving the shirts to dry naturally. This is because having your shirts bang around inside a hot container increases the likelihood of shrinkage.

Ironing

Ironing puts your shirts under a lot of stress and so should be approached carefully. Please take your shirts out to dry and press them while they’re still damp. This makes them easier to iron than when they’re bone dry, and ensures a smooth finish. We also recommend ironing collars and cuffs away from the edge to avoid unsightly ridges, and pulling the front placket tight to get a nice clean finish.
