OUTERWEAR CARE
Each outerwear item is made up of a
different blend of materials. A care tag will explain how to best
care for the jacket or coat specified. In addition to the care tag
instructions, there are tips for each type of material that can add
years to the coat’s average lifespan.
Leather Jackets- A professional
grade weather protectant that is made specifically for leather
clothing items can be used to protect leather from rain and other
moisture heavy weather. This will keep the leather from fading and
cracking in dry conditions as well.
Dry Clean Coats- If your jacket
or coat is made out of materials that require dry cleaning, you will
want to avoid conditions that may get your outerwear dirty. If you
notice that your coat is not fresh smelling, you can put it in the
dryer with a fresh smelling dryer sheet in a no heat cycle. This will
not clean dirt off of the material, but will have your coat smelling
like new.
Bubble Jackets-Bubble jackets
are often made with down or fabrics that mimic down. These materials
are difficult to launder, as they will often stay wet for long
periods of time. Bubble jackets should be taken to a professional
cleaner to be laundered regardless of the instructions on the care
tag. Keep this in mind when purchasing a bubble jacket and opt for
colors that do not show dirt easily such as white or pale blue.
