Men's Clothing Care Guide

1. Cotton Clothing Care Guide

Cotton clothing is breathable and comfortable, making it a classic choice for men's wear. Regular and proper care will extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best.

Daily Cleaning

  • Turn cotton garments inside out before placing them in the washing machine. Use cold or warm water (no higher than 30°C) on a gentle cycle to prevent shrinkage and fading.
  • Avoid washing with dark-colored garments to prevent color transfer.

Drying and Ironing

  • After washing, gently reshape the garment and avoid wringing. Lay flat or hang to dry, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • If ironing is needed, use a medium heat setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric texture.

Storage Tips

  • Store only when clean and completely dry. Fold neatly or hang on a hanger to prevent deformation from long-term compression.
  • Moth repellents may be used, but avoid direct contact with clothing.

2. Wool and Knitwear Care Guide

Wool and knitted fabrics offer excellent warmth but are more delicate by nature. Careful handling is essential to prevent deformation and pilling.

Cleaning

  • Hand wash or use the wool/delicate cycle on your washing machine with water no warmer than 30°C, using a specialist wool detergent.
  • Gently squeeze when washing — never wring or twist, as this can damage the fibers.

Drying and Reshaping

  • After washing, press gently with a towel to absorb excess water, then lay flat in a well-ventilated area to dry naturally. Never hang to dry, as this can cause stretching.
  • If pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills.

Storage Tips

  • Always clean thoroughly before seasonal storage. Fold and store flat — do not hang.
  • Place cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths. Avoid chemical repellents in direct contact with clothing.

3. Suits and Formal Wear Care Guide

Suits and formal wear represent quality and style. Proper care not only maintains their sharp appearance but also significantly extends their wearable life.

Daily Care

  • After each wear, use a clothes brush to gently brush along the grain of the fabric to remove dust and fine particles.
  • Hang on a wide-shouldered hanger after wearing to allow the fabric to recover its shape naturally. Avoid folding for storage.

Cleaning and Stain Removal

  • Suits should not be washed frequently. We recommend professional dry cleaning once or twice per season.
  • For localized stains, blot immediately with a clean white cloth — do not rub, as this can spread the stain or damage the fabric.

Storage Tips

  • For long-term storage, use a breathable garment bag (fabric is preferred over plastic) to protect the suit. Avoid sealed plastic bags, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight.
