- Use a small amount of mild liquid detergent.
- Do not bleach. Do not use fabric softener — it coats the fibers and dulls the wax.

- Air dry flat or hang. Do not tumble dry. Keep out of direct sun and off radiators.
- Iron low heat, inside out, using a pressing cloth. Never iron the waxed seams directly.
ABOUT THE WAX
The seams are wax-coated by hand. Washing, heat, and detergent will change that coating — it can dull, soften, fade, crack, or shift. That change is expected and part of how the piece wears in. It isn't a defect.
For the longest hold on the coating, spot clean when you can and wash as little as you need to. Cold water keeps the garment true to its finished measurements; heat is what shortens it.
