Caring for jackets and denim
Heavyweight jackets and denim require minimal, but proper care.
- Only wash jackets if the care label permits; otherwise, have them professionally dry-cleaned.
- Wash denim inside out at 30 degrees and do not tumble dry.
- Treat leather accents separately with a leather balm or cream.
- Store winter pieces in a dry, well-ventilated space, never in plastic.
Buying in the Netherlands
