The art of taking care of your shirt

Your shirts are the essential icons of your wardrobe. When properly cared for, they'll retain their impeccable appearance, softness, and shape. Here are our tips for caring for them.

  • 1. Air

    A shirt worn for one day doesn't necessarily need to be washed: let it breathe. Simply hang it on a hanger for a few hours to remove moisture and odors.

  • 2. A little sweetness

    To preserve its fibers and colors, wash your shirt at a maximum of 30°C. A delicate cycle is enough to keep it fresh and clean. Choose a gentle liquid detergent, without bleaching agents, which respects the fibers and preserves the fabric's brightness.

    PS: Don't forget to sort your shirts by color before washing to avoid transfers.

  • 3. The free shirt

    Tumble drying damages the shirt and creates unnecessary wrinkles. Instead, air dry it on a hanger to maintain its shape and reduce wrinkles.

  • 4. Nickel chrome ironing

    For a clean result, iron your shirt while it's still slightly damp. Start with the collar, then the cuffs, sleeves, and finally the body. You can use the steam from your iron to easily remove wrinkles and revive the fabric.

  • 5. Table of Contents

    Each subject has its own special treatment.

    Linen: delicate, choose a cold wash and a very gentle spin cycle.

    Cotton: more durable, it withstands machine washing at 30°C.

    Denim or flannel: prefer to wash inside out to preserve the color.
