Garment Care & Reordering
Caring for your garments
Always follow the care instructions on your garment’s label or packaging. Instructions may vary by fabric and garment.
Washing
Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Where machine washing is permitted by the care label, use a delicate cycle and a laundry bag. Follow the label’s washing-temperature limit.
Do not use bleach or fabric softener. For garments containing wool, follow their specific care instructions and use a suitable wool detergent.
Drying
Air dry away from direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources. Do not tumble dry unless the garment’s care label specifically permits it. Follow any instructions to dry flat.
Putting on your garment
Try on your garment with clean, dry skin. Rubber donning gloves can help protect the fabric and distribute it evenly. Remove jewelry that could snag the garment, and avoid pulling the fabric with your fingernails.
If you may need to return your garment
You may try on your garment for a reasonable period—up to a few hours indoors—to assess fit and comfort.
Washing is allowed, but use only fragrance-free detergent. Returned garments must be fragrance-free, and original tags must remain attached and unaltered, with no cutting or writing.
Please review our full Returns & Exchanges information before returning an item.
Replacing and reordering
Garment life varies with use and care. Check regularly for damage, loss of elasticity, or changes in fit. If you are unsure whether your garment needs replacing, contact us.
Recheck your measurements against the product’s current size chart before reordering.
