A message from your Thick Turtleneck:
"Wool needs minimal maintenance. I prefer fresh air to washing as I don't hold onto odours. Translation: Being 100% wool and not the biggest fan of baths, please go easy on me."
HOW TO WASH IT (IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST)
It's actually pretty straightforward. Machine wash at 30°C with a spin cycle no higher than 400 rpm, and your Thick Turtleneck will come out good as new. To protect both the fabric and color, go for liquid detergent rather than powder. Eco-friendly options preferred.
AND AFTER, HOW DO YOU DRY IT?
This is where we start laying down some ground rules, sorry. Absolutely no tumble dryers for your Thick Turtleneck, and no hangers either – both risk damaging the fibres and shape. Air dry it flat if possible. Pro tip: avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the colours. Air drying is just as effective and shows your Turtleneck the respect it deserves.
IRONING?
Not necessary. "But what if I just–" No, still not necessary. Save yourself some time and leave your Thick Turtleneck in peace.
FYI, OUR THICK TURTLENECK AND THE PLANET
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 Thick Turtleneck.
- 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 Thick Turtlenecks 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 to incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Thick Turtleneck.
AND THAT'S IT!
It's dry, smells fresh, and you're ready for new adventures with your Thick Turtleneck. Consider taking it off occasionally – during summer, for instance – not just to wash it, but to let the fabric breathe. You'll find you won't need to machine wash it as often.
We'll be back in touch in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting on.
