Air out after wearing
After each wear, hang the coat on a sturdy, shaped hanger and let it air out.
This will prevent moisture and odours from building up.
Hanging it correctly
Use a wide hanger that supports the shoulders. Avoid hanging it on a hook or draping it over the back of a chair, as this can cause the coat to lose its shape.
Cleaning
Remove minor dirt with a soft textile brush. If stains occur, treat them locally. Never rub them; gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. Leave larger stains to the experts and take the coat to the dry cleaners as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage.
Off-season storage
At the end of the season, clean the coat thoroughly, let it air out, and store it in a breathable cover. This will protect it from dust, moths, and mustiness. Avoid plastic bags, which prevent air circulation.
A coat deserves good care, as it often represents you before you even say a word. With proper care, it will retain its elegant appearance, functionality, and shape, and serve you reliably for many seasons.
