How do you look after your overshirt ?
The spearhead
In the care section of our guide, we're now going to look at after-wash care. Here's the same advice as for washing: turn your overshirt inside out. This will avoid iron marks on dark colours, which aren't very pretty to look at. You can also opt for an ironing net, the ultimate accessory for avoiding these marks. And to avoid burning the fabric, don't exceed 200°C, the maximum temperature that cotton can withstand. This often corresponds to Level 2 on your iron, as indicated by the two-star pictogram on the label.
But what we also love about linen, and we mustn't forget this, is its original wrinkled appearance. So if you're on the 'authentic' team, there's no need to iron your garment and wear it with its natural creases.
Repair and maintenance
The next tip concerns the maintenance of your precious overshirt over time. For example, before an important meeting, the best tip we can give you is to use an adhesive brush or dust roller to polish up your look and give it a quick shine.
And don't forget to use the spare button sewn into the overshirt at the label. You'll need a needle and thread to mend the button, a kit often available in hotels when you're away from home. No more stressing about a meeting with a big client and the last button popping off at breakfast - we've thought of everything!
