The Art of Shirt Care: How to Properly Wash Your ETON and Stenströms Shirts
Welcome to another edition of Jacques' Style, where we combine tradition with trendsetting. At Boutique Jacques, we understand the investment you make in high-end menswear, and today we're focusing on ensuring the longevity and pristine condition of your ETON and Stenströms shirts. Proper washing techniques are pivotal in maintaining the quality and appearance of these premium garments.
Before washing, always check the shirt for any stains and treat them accordingly. Ensure all buttons are unfastened to prevent tension and possible tearing during the wash.
It's crucial to sort your shirts not only by colour but by fabric type as well. Washing similar colours together prevents colour bleeding, especially with new shirts.
Use a gentle wash cycle to protect the fibers of your high-end shirts. ETON and Stenströms recommends washing their shirts at a temperature no higher than that stated on the care label, as modern washing machines can effectively clean at lower temperatures.
Opt for a mild detergent. Harsh chemicals can degrade fine fabrics over time. Avoid using fabric softeners with premium shirts, as they can affect the shirt's breathability and finish.
Air drying is the best way to preserve your shirts. Lay flat or hang to dry, avoiding direct sunlight which can fade colors. Tumble drying should be avoided as it can cause shrinkage and fabric wear.
Iron shirts when they are slightly damp to make it easier to smooth out wrinkles. Use a warm iron and avoid high heat to protect the shirt's fabric. ETON's shirts may not need ironing or steam as they are an easy-care shirt and their fabrics usually come out of the wash nice and crisp.
Store your shirts by hanging them on quality hangers that support the shape of the shoulders. For folded storage, avoid overcrowding drawers to prevent wrinkles.
At Boutique Jacques, we believe caring for your garments is as important as choosing them. By following these expert tips, your ETON and Stenströms shirts will not only look impeccable but will also last longer, ensuring you're always dressed in the pinnacle of style and quality.
