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 AGEC law requires all textile brands to be transparent about what goes into their products so we can all have a much better idea of exactly what we're buying. We didn't wait for the legislation to do this, we actually lobbied for it, and we think it's an important step in the right direction to change the way our industry works. So here's some additional information about our Wool Gilets:

• It’s 100% recyclable after being dismantled. Which means that if your time together comes to an end, your item can be fully recycled. That said, we'd always recommend repairing and/or handing it down to someone before recycling.
• Unlike a lot of clothing that sheds microplastics in the wash, it's been designed to minimise its environmental impact. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles that wreak havoc on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
• It does not contain any hazardous materials. It respects strict European standards aimed at eliminating substances and chemical treatments that could be harmful to you, the environment, and the people who make it.
• It does not contain any recycled materials. Sometimes we manage to use recycled materials to further reduce the impact of our clothes. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible in this case.

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.
