Garment Care
An Old Money Official garment is designed to endure — evolving gracefully with each passing season.
Caring for it is not merely maintenance; it is a gesture of respect for the craftsmanship and materials that define its essence.
Below are our guidelines to preserve the integrity of your garments and ensure their longevity over time.
Washing
-
Always check the care label: each garment includes specific instructions. Following them is essential to avoid irreversible damage.
-
For delicate fabrics such as silk, cashmere or wool, hand wash in cold or lukewarm water using a gentle detergent.
-
If using a washing machine, select a delicate cycle at a low temperature (no more than 30°C), and place sensitive garments in a protective mesh bag.
-
Avoid prolonged soaking and do not rub the fabric vigorously — natural fibres require care and gentleness.
Drying
-
Avoid tumble dryers: high heat can compromise fabric structure and cause shrinkage.
-
Air dry garments flat and away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and distortion.
-
Gently blot excess water with a clean towel. Never wring the garment.
Ironing
-
Iron garments inside out, and adjust the temperature of the iron according to the fabric.
-
For delicate items, use a cotton pressing cloth between the iron and the garment, or choose a steamer at a safe distance.
-
Avoid direct contact with embroidery, prints or sensitive detailing.
Storage
-
Store garments in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and humidity.
-
Use padded hangers for coats and blazers, and fold knitwear and trousers carefully.
-
Avoid plastic garment bags; opt for breathable fabric covers instead.
-
To protect against moths, use natural repellents such as lavender sachets or cedar wood blocks.
Additional Advice
-
Rotate garments regularly to allow fabrics to recover and maintain their natural shape.
-
Treat stains promptly, blotting gently without rubbing. For delicate or high-value items, consider using a professional cleaner.
Caring for your clothing is not simply a routine — it is a reflection of a lifestyle rooted in awareness, intention, and appreciation for enduring quality.
Old Money Official invites you to embrace that philosophy, with garments made to be worn, cherished, and passed on.
