CARE & INSTRUCTIONS

Wool Outerwear Care Guide – Kingwell Apparel

A premium wool garment from Kingwell Apparel is designed to provide exceptional warmth, comfort, and timeless style. With the right care, your wool outerwear will retain its appearance, structure, and quality for many seasons.

Follow these simple care instructions to keep your garment looking its best.

Step 1: Keep Your Garment Clean and Fresh

Wool is naturally resistant to dirt and odours, so frequent washing is usually unnecessary.

To keep your garment fresh:

  • Gently brush the fabric using a soft clothes brush to remove dust and lint.

  • Air your garment after wearing it to help maintain freshness.

  • Spot clean small stains using a clean, damp cloth whenever possible.

Avoid rubbing stains aggressively, as this may damage the wool fibres.

Pro Tip: Regular brushing helps maintain the natural appearance and extends the life of your garment.

Step 2: Store It Properly

Always store your wool garment on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to help maintain its original shape.

For long-term storage:

  • Use a breathable garment bag.

  • Store in a cool, dry place.

  • Keep away from direct sunlight and damp environments.

Avoid plastic covers, as they can trap moisture and affect the quality of the wool.

Step 3: Washing Instructions

Most wool garments should be Dry Clean Only unless the care label specifically states otherwise.

If your garment is suitable for hand washing:

  • Use cold or lukewarm water.

  • Wash with a detergent specially formulated for wool.

  • Do not bleach.

  • Do not wring or twist the fabric.

Machine washing should only be done if the care label clearly permits it, using a gentle wool cycle.

Step 4: Drying Instructions

After washing:

  • Gently reshape the garment while damp.

  • Lay it flat on a clean towel to air dry naturally.

  • Avoid hanging wet wool garments, as this may cause stretching.

Do not use:

  • Tumble dryers

  • Direct sunlight

  • Radiators

  • Heaters

Allow the garment to dry naturally at room temperature.

Step 5: Ironing & Steaming

If necessary:

  • Use a low heat (Wool Setting) on your iron.

  • Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.

  • Steam can also be used carefully to remove light wrinkles.

Avoid applying excessive heat directly to the wool fabric.

Step 6: Protect Against Moths

Since wool is a natural fibre, proper storage is important.

For long-term storage:

  • Ensure the garment is clean before storing.

  • Store in a breathable garment bag.

  • Consider using natural cedar blocks or lavender sachets to help protect against moths.

Step 7: General Care Tips

To maximise the lifespan of your garment:

  • Avoid carrying heavy bags on the shoulders for extended periods.

  • Remove lint using a lint roller or soft clothes brush.

  • Rotate between garments instead of wearing the same one every day.

  • Always follow the care label attached to your garment.

Proper care helps preserve the shape, texture, and premium appearance of your wool outerwear.
