Style, Fit and Sizing Recommendations

Washing and Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees to preserve the deep navy pigment and fabric structure.
• Wash with similar dark colours to avoid any potential pigment transfer.
• Do not tumble dry, instead hang the jacket to air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain its shape.
• Use a warm iron to remove creases, ensuring the fabric remains crisp and well-presented.
