Men’s Shirt Care Guide

A bespoke shirt provides the foundation for any refined look. Proper men's shirt care preserves the crispness of the collar, the strength of the seams, and the vibrancy of the fabric. Follow these steps to maintain the comfort and longevity of your garments.

Everyday Care & Storage

• Unbutton all buttons, including those on the cuffs and collar, before removing and hanging the shirt to prevent tension on the threads.

• Hang your shirt on a high-quality wooden or padded hanger to maintain the natural line of the shoulders.

• Use a garment steamer for a quick refresh between wears to relax minor creases.

• If using an iron, ensure the shirt is slightly damp and use the appropriate heat setting for the fabric (cotton, linen, or silk). Avoid ironing directly over buttons to prevent cracking.

• Allow the shirt to air out in a well-ventilated space before placing it in the closet to prevent moisture and odors from becoming trapped.

Cleaning

• Professional laundering with a "light starch" or "no starch" option is recommended to preserve the softness of the high-quality fibers.

• If washing at home, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent to prevent shrinkage and color fading.

• Pre-treat collar and cuff bands with a gentle stain remover to prevent "ring around the collar" from body oils.

• Never use bleach, as it weakens the natural fibers and can cause yellowing over time.

• Air dry the shirt on a hanger rather than using a tumble dryer. High heat from a dryer can shrink the fabric and damage the delicate stitching.

Preserving the Bespoke Detail

• Remove collar stays before cleaning and ironing to prevent them from leaving a permanent mark on the fabric.

• If your shirt features French cuffs, ensure cufflinks are removed immediately after wear to avoid snagging or stretching the buttonholes.

• Store white shirts in a dark, cool environment to prevent natural oxidation and yellowing of the fabric.
