The Balmacaan Overcoat care guide

You read that right: no need to wash it. Incredible but true.

Merino wool is an animal fibre made of keratin. And keratin has a superpower: it destroys the bacteria responsible for bad odours.

So if your Knitted Jacket is starting to smell a bit iffy, simply let it catch some fresh air, avoiding direct sunlight.

And if somehow it's had an encounter with raclette cheese that mistook it for a potato, you can take it to the dry cleaners.

If you've gone for the raw denim option (that's unwashed fabric to the uninitiated), you might find it a bit stiff and cardboardy at first. No need to panic – that's perfectly normal.

After a few days, it'll loosen up and become soft as butter. Like magic, it'll even mould to your shape in just a week.

This is exactly why we don't recommend sizing up if they feel a tad snug during the first fitting (unless you're genuinely struggling to breathe, of course).

PS: the dye might bleed slightly during the first few wears. While some denim purists absolutely love this, we'd suggest avoiding light-coloured clothes and shoes for a while, unless you fancy some artistic indigo stains on your shirt hems.

We've designed our Straight Cut Jeans to last a lifetime Whether it's the fabric, the care in their confection or the finishing touches, we've pulled out all the spots to make sure they last you a lifetime.

And if you should happen to tear it or catch it on a door handle, you should know that absolutely everything can be repaired on a Jean.

Don't give up on them at the first sign of damage - the smallest alteration specialist will help you mend them, put a patch over a hole or who knows what. Not only will your favourite denim be back on the road again, but it’ll look even more unique, than ever and therefore a little more beautiful.
