The coats, sweaters and hoodies are out of the closet, and they're about to work hard all winter. Between school, weekends, snow days and everything in between, his favorite pieces get a lot of wear.
The good news? A few simple habits keep them looking fresh, week after week. Here's what we do at home.
Wool coats
Skip the washing machine. Wool and washers don't mix.
- Brush off lint after wearing.
- Spot-clean small spills with a damp cloth.
- Hang on a wide, sturdy hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.
- A professional dry clean once or twice a season is plenty.
Our Navy Wool Coat has a removable sherpa collar, so you can take it off and wash it separately when it needs a refresh.
Sweaters & cardigans
- Wash inside out on cold and gentle, or hand wash.
- Lay flat to dry. Hanging a wet sweater stretches it out of shape.
- Fold sweaters in the drawer instead of hanging them.
Shop the Navy Chunky Knit Cardigan, also available in black and rust.
Hoodies & fleece
- Turn inside out and wash cold with similar colors.
- Skip the fabric softener. It flattens that soft, fuzzy feel.
- Tumble dry low or hang to dry so they stay cozy.
Shop the Black Fur Hoodie.
Quick fixes
Pilling? A sweater comb or fabric shaver makes it look new again in minutes.
Snow day? Let a wet coat air-dry at room temperature, away from the radiator. Direct heat can shrink or stiffen the fabric.
