Special Notes

• Brush after wearing to remove surface dirt

• Steam to remove wrinkles rather than pressing

Additional Care Tips

• Dry clean only — tweed should not be washed at home due to structure and dye sensitivity
• Brush with a natural-bristle garment brush after each wearing to remove dust and surface debris
• Air out between wears by hanging in a well-ventilated area — tweed needs infrequent cleaning
• Store with cedar blocks or moth repellent sachets — wool tweed is highly susceptible to moths
• Steam gently to remove wrinkles rather than ironing, which can crush the textured weave
• Store on wide wooden or padded hangers to maintain shoulder shape on jackets and coats
