🧼 Fabric Wash & Care guide

🪡 BEFORE STITCHING CARE

✔ Pre-Wash Natural Fabrics: Always pre-wash cotton, linen, and cotton blends to prevent post-stitch shrinkage.

✔ Check for Color Fastness: Test a small fabric portion for color bleeding before full wash.

✔ Air the Fabric: Unfold and let the fabric air out to release packaging creases and odors.

✔ Press Before Cutting: Light ironing on the reverse side helps prepare fabric for precise cutting and stitching.

✔ First Wash with Care: Use cold water or dry cleaning for the first wash to preserve color and fabric finish.

✔ Avoid Overwashing: Wash only when necessary to retain durability and appearance.

✔ Store Properly: Use breathable covers for suits; fold shirts neatly or hang with padded hangers.

✔ Steam Over Ironing: Prefer steaming to retain garment structure, especially for suiting fabrics.
