If you've landed here, chances are you're after some intel on how to look after your Wool Gilet. You're in the right place. Here's the lowdown.

Our recommendation couldn't be clearer: dry cleaning is the way to go. Full stop.

It's by far the safest method to clean it without causing any damage.

That said, keep in mind we're talking about a Wool Gilet that shouldn't ever be in direct contact with your skin (well, normally). So there's no need to rush it to the cleaners every other week.

If you air it out between wears, taking it for a professional clean once or twice a year will keep it looking impeccable.

Since 1 January 2024, the New French environmental legislation known as The AGEC Law stipulates transparency from our lot in the fashion industry so that you can make an informed purchase. As you can imagine, this is something that we fully support at Asphalte. So here's some additional information about our Wool Gilets:

• They’re 100% recyclable after being dismantled, which means that the day their services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing yours for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing it on to a friend, family member or donating it to a charity. The best way of reducing an item of clothing’s impact is by keeping it in circulation, and only recycling it when there really is no life or use left in it.
• Unlike many garments that release microplastics during washing, our Wool Gilets have been designed not to do so. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems.
• They do not contain any hazardous materials. They’re manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• They do not contain any recycled materials. We try and incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Wool Gilet.

So there you have it, you now know everything there is to know about looking after your Wool Gilets.

We'll be back in touch in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting on.
