Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality, color, and fit of your Belstaff Scale Shirt. As it is 100% cotton and garment-dyed, pay close attention to the following:
- Check the Care Label: Always refer to the specific washing and drying instructions on the garment's internal care label first. These instructions supersede general advice.
- Washing: Generally, wash cotton garments in cold water on a gentle cycle. Washing inside out can help preserve the color, especially for garment-dyed items. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
> Info needed: Specific wash temperature if different from cold, or if machine wash is restricted to hand wash.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended for cotton to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape. Lay flat or hang to dry. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat only and remove promptly to minimize wrinkles and shrinkage.
> Info needed: Specific tumble dry temperature or if tumble drying is not recommended.
- Ironing: Cotton can be ironed at a medium to high heat setting while slightly damp or with steam to remove wrinkles. Iron inside out to protect the color.
- Storage: Hang the shirt on a good quality hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creases.
