How to

1. After wearing, empty pockets and remove heavy items, belts and other accessories that might pull the coat out of shape.
2. Read the care label and check the coat's surface. Distinguish woven wool from knitted garments, and avoid trying random cleaners on a stain.
3. On a dry woven coat, gently brush loose surface dust lengthwise with a soft garment brush, following Woolmark's care guidance. Avoid aggressive rubbing.
4. If the coat has light lingering odors, let fresh air circulate. Woolmark mentions airing wool garments laid flat for about an hour; use a suitable hanger for woven pieces if the label allows.
5. If wet from rain, dry fully at room temperature away from direct sunlight or radiators. Follow the garment-specific instructions and retain the coat's shape.
6. Hang the completely dry woven coat on a supportive shaped or padded hanger with closures fastened. Leave space in the closet and fold knitted sweaters rather than leaving them hanging.

One more tip

Use supportive hangers for woven wool coats but fold or flat-dry knitwear where appropriate. Always follow the individual care label.
