Ah, the denim jacket. One of the most popular yet classic choices when it comes to fashion. Denim jackets are one of the most versatile and customisable choices of clothing out there. You can sew patches onto them, dye them, and even take them to a jacket printing service to have them custom printed. And since they’re made of a thicker material than most other fabrics, they can last for many years.
Provided, that is, if you only learn how to take care of and wash your denim jackets properly. Even if they are made to last much longer than other types of fabric, denim can still be pretty fickle especially if you don’t know how to take care of them. If you’re careless, an expensive or one of a kind custom jacket can still wrinkle, rip, or tear over time. This is why you shouldn’t be negligent when it comes to protecting your denim.
Don’t know how to care for your denim?
There’s usually care instructions written on the tags or labels of your clothing, but it can’t hurt to double-check if you really want to. Here are some general rules of thumb for maintaining denim:
- Use a friendly colour-safe detergent
There are many types of detergent that can harm your denim in various ways. You don’t want to take your jacket out and see the colour has faded.
2.Use cold water for a wash.
Warm or how water can shrink denim.
3. Don’t use high heat during ironing.
Much like the second point, high heat can shrink your denim jacket.
