Care guide for the Winter Shirt

Step 1 - Washing it

For our 100% cotton Winter Shirt we suggest machine-washing it on a cold setting - 30°C max with similar colours, just to make sure that white T-Shirt of yours stays that way.

You may want to invest in a laundry bag to protect the soft flannel from any sharp objects or the machine drum.

Step 2 - Drying it

Please don’t bung it in the tumble-dryer, as it could ruin the fibres and shape of your shirt. Generally speaking tumble-dryers aren’t the best thing for clothes.

Just rinse it in your washing machine set on max 800 rpm and let your shirt air dry on a hanger. No need to go above that, as it won't make it dry faster and might not be the best for your shirt over time.

Step 3 - Ironing it

Ironing is a must really to get the fabric looking its best and get your shirt's original look back. Turn it inside-out and limit yourself to a few blasts on a low 150°C setting and avoid the seams. Make sure your iron's clean as a whistle, otherwise, it could leave marks.

FYI, OUR WINTER SHIRT IS SOFT ON YOU 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 Winter Shirts:

  • They’re 100% recyclable after being taken apart, which means that the day their services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing them for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing them on to a friend, family member or donating them 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 Winter Shirts 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 Winter Shirt.

Thanks!
