Product Care Manual
Like your favourite car or watch, the better you take care of it the better it takes care of you. Slow fashion is a big part of what we do, we create garments that’ll be with you on every step of your journey, garments that are built to stand the test of time. As we believe that clothes should be worn in, worked in, loved and over the years get better with age and fade, be part of you and your identity.
Here’s what we advise when it comes to taking care and getting the best out of your Damsons clothes.
Try not to wash your clothing too frequently so they retain their shape, colour and fabric quality.
Clothes that can be machine washed, we recommend washing at an eco friendly temperature 30°C along with similar-coloured clothing, as this is better for your clothes and the planet.
Quick trick - Reshape your garment while damp by holding it by the side seams and shaking, then simply dry flat by hanging to avoid the need for ironing.
If you do feel the need to iron - it’s best to do it while your clothes are slightly damp or by using your iron’s steam setting.
Denim
We recommend you don’t wash your denim, unless you have to...
Wash denim in cold water only on a short, gentle cycle, only ever hang dry. Jeans could shrink by 5% on first wash. Due to this the denim should only ever be washed inside out in cold water and never machine dried.We would recommend not washing for at least 6 months.
Just use water to get out a stain. If you need to freshen your jeans, put them in the freezer.
Cotton / Polyester / Linen / Viscose
These materials can be machine washed at 30°C along with similar-coloured clothing. Remember to hang your clothes away from direct sunlight to avoid the risk of exaggerated fading.
Wool blend / Knitted
Our wool blend clothing does not need to be washed frequently. We advise you to air your garment out between wears and wash only when you really need to.
Damsons wool blend clothing is to be specialist dry cleaned only.
Do not wash at home in a domestic machine as this can damage the garment.
