Care Instructions

Washing:

• Washing instructions can be found in the jacket's inner pocket.
• The jacket can be hand-washed with a down detergent at a maximum of 30°C/86°F. Please turn it inside out, close the zipper, perform an additional rinse, and do not use fabric softener.
• Remove the item from the machine, loosen it slightly, and spin it lightly at the end (max. 600 rotations)!

Drying:

• Dry in the tumble dryer at a maximum of 60°C/140°F and be sure to add 2-3 tennis balls for better fluffing.
• Conduct multiple drying cycles and remove the item from the machine after each cycle, shake or fluff it well, and let it cool in between.
• The dryer must be set on a timed program to fully dry the down.
• If a dryer is not used, the jacket can be placed on a drying rack on sunny days, frequently shaken, allowing air from above and below to reach the jacket.

When Is the Drying Process Complete?

• If the item still hasn't regained its original thickness, repeat the drying cycles until the jacket feels more filled than before.
• Depending on the waterproofing of the outer material, the drying process can take different lengths (at least 2 days, depending on the dryer model).
• The down must be completely dry. If the jacket is not properly dried and fluffed, there is a risk of clumping the down feathers. Moist down can smell, which dissipates when dry.

Tip:

• Down jackets should be dried in the tumble dryer with tennis balls from time to time or after each tour to remove excess moisture.
• Ventilating the jacket is better than washing it. DownWool® jackets rarely need to be washed as wool naturally possesses odour-resistant and dirt-repellent properties. For minor surface stains, we recommend gently cleaning the spot (as described above).
• Greasy and heavily soiled jackets can be hand-washed.
