Care Guide

Embroidered garments last longest with a little extra care. Here's how to keep yours looking sharp.

Washing

• Turn the garment inside-out before washing to protect the stitching.
• Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
• Avoid bleach and other harsh detergents.
• Wash embroidered items separately from anything with zips, velcro or rough fastenings that could snag the threads.

Drying

• Air dry where possible.
• If using a dryer, use a low heat setting and remove promptly.
• Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can fade thread colours over time.

Ironing

• If ironing is needed, turn the garment inside-out and use a low-to-medium heat setting.
• Avoid pressing the iron directly onto the embroidered design — use a pressing cloth, or iron around it, to protect the stitching and any backing material.

Storage

• Store folded or on a hanger in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

A note on caps

Structured caps hold their shape best if reshaped gently by hand after washing, rather than left to dry flat or dryer-tumbled.

Looking after your embroidery this way will help the stitching and colours stay looking sharp for years.
