To keep your vest and jacket looking fresh and cozy season after season, it’s important to give them the right care. By following these simple steps, you’ll help preserve both the shape and the soft teddy texture of your Mercer piece:
Washing:
- Always wash the jacket inside out to protect the outer teddy fabric.
- Wash with similar colors to prevent any unwanted color transfer.
- Choose the wool program on your washing machine, ensuring a gentle cycle that won’t damage the fibers.
Drying:
- Do not tumble dry. Heat and friction can cause the fabric to lose its shape and softness.
- Instead, lay the jacket flat to dry naturally on a clean surface, which helps maintain its original structure and fit.
Finishing Touches:
- Use a steamer on low heat to gently release wrinkles and restore a smooth look.
- Avoid ironing directly on the fabric or using high heat, as this can flatten or damage the fibers.
- Store your jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger, to help it keep its silhouette.
