Looking after your bespoke shirts

Let's face it, a bespoke shirt is an investment. At around £100 to £200 a go you want it to last longer than a few months. To help you on the way here are a few tips to keep your bespoke shirts in tip top condition.

  1. Wash your cotton bespoke shirts in a washing machine at 40 degrees - any hotter and you will reduce it's life
  2. Iron on setting number 2. Yes, i know setting 3 says Cotton, but it is too hot, cotton will iron fine with less heat - but do use steam or ensure shirt is slightly damp.
  3. Hang the shirt up after each wear. If it has creases but you want to wear it again before the next wash then run the iron over the body again.
  4. Remove collar bones after wearing.
  5. Check all buttons for security before hanging, and repair or replace ny that need it.
  6. Don't eat spaghetti whilst wearing your bespoke shirt.

That's all, not much too it, a good quality cotton bespoke shirt almost looks after itself.
