Washing & caring for jackets & outerwear: keep the logo and the fabric
The care rules that matter
- Wash at 30°C for branded kit; 40°C for workwear that's properly dirty.
- Turn garments inside out so the logo faces in.
- Line dry where you can — tumble drying is the single biggest killer of print.
What the logo needs
Embroidery on jackets & outerwear can take the wash; print needs the gentler cycle. Never iron directly on a vinyl transfer, and keep hi-vis away from fabric softener, which dims the reflective finish.
Garments to put the care rules on
- adidas® Puffy vest from £64.50
- adidas® Women’s performance texture full-zip jacket from £61.00
- Asquith & Fox Men's Harrington jacket from £26.00
- Asquith & Fox Men's padded wind jacket from £30.00
The golden rule
When in doubt, wash cold, inside out, and air dry. Your branded kit will still look new when the cheap gear has given up.
