Your Wool Zipped Jacket is the perfect companion for those chilly days when you need both style and comfort. To keep it looking its best for years to come, here are a few care instructions worth following.
Rule 1: Washing
Wool is delicate, so it deserves a bit of special attention. For your Wool Zipped Jacket, we recommend hand washing in cold or lukewarm water (no hotter than 30°C). Use a gentle detergent specifically designed for wool, and avoid scrubbing too vigorously to protect the fibres. A handy tip to minimise friction: turn the jacket inside out before washing.
When it comes to wringing it out, resist the urge. Instead, lay your jacket flat on a clean towel, gently roll it up while pressing to absorb excess water, then lay it flat to dry so it keeps its original shape.
Rule 2 : Drying
Tumble dryers are a definite no-go. Wool much prefers drying flat in the open air. Place your jacket on a towel, reshape it, and let it dry naturally away from direct sunlight or intense heat sources.
Rule 3: Ironing
We strongly advise against ironing your Wool Zipped Jacket as it risks giving the wool a shiny appearance. If you fold it carefully and store it properly in your wardrobe, that should be more than enough.
Follow these simple steps and your Wool Zipped Jacket will remain as handsome and comfortable as the day you first put it on. Because a quality Knitted Jacket deserves proper care.
FYI, your Wool Zipped Jacket is environmentally sound
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 your Wool Zipped Jackets:
- It's 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 Zipped Jackets 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.
- It doesn't contain recycled materials. We try to incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Wool Zipped Jacket.
Thanks!
