Here at SokolWorkshop, we’re proud to craft products with solid construction and quality fabric. While everything is built to last, the better you take care of your clothing, the longer it is likely to take care of you! This guide will take you through how to get the longest life out of your beloved costumes. Medieval textiles require a little bit of extra care – remember, historically, people didn’t have washing machines, intense spin cycles or hot dryers!
Things to keep in mind:
- SokolWorkshop clothing is NOT pre-washed;
- Trims on our clothing should not bleed during the laundry process;
- If you are every worried or not sure about how to wash something, it’s best to play it safe and just hand wash or consult a dry cleaner
- Wipe food or stains off of your clothing as quickly to avoid washing as much as possible;
- Wearing a chemise or undershirt will reduce the frequency that you have to wash your outer clothes and protect them from sweat;
- For the best results, use color-safe detergent that’s meant for delicates and cold water.
