Shirt Care

To get the most life out of your Shirt Studio shirt, these are the recommended shirting care instructions:

Wash shirt in cold water in washing machine
Unbutton shirt before washing
To keep brights vibrant, turn clothing inside-out before washing
Remove collar stays from collar (men's shirts) before washing and remember to insert collar stays before wearing.
With every shirt you will receive a set of collar stays. Use these to keep your collar looking firm and fresh
Do not tumble dry, instead hang to dry in the shade on a wooden hanger.
Iron on a cotton setting and ensure there is always water in the iron. To assist in ironing, iron the shirt when damp or spray a small amount of water on the shirt when ironing.
Iron collar flat on the ironing board, wrong side up, and press from the outer points towards the centre of the collar. Turn the collar over and repeat.
Press the sleeves beginning with the inside of the cuff then the outside. Hold the collar and cuffs taut so they don't crease.
Hang shirts in wardrobe on wooden hangers.
Do not soak the shirts

We recommend you wash your shirts rather than dry cleaning. If taking to the dry cleaner ask them if they have a hand laundering service instead of dry cleaning
