COATS

All coats are dry clean only, so will require professional dry cleaning. Each Shyla coat has been made with dedication, passion and elegance, for you to enjoy every day, with the best materials and the finest and most delicate wool. We recommend that your coat is always kept on a hanger to avoid deformation of the shoulders, collars and shoulder pads, always remember that these points as well as the buttons and buttonholes of the garment will be the most colorsfull part of your garment. Read the instructions on the label. Please find below the meaning of the symbols and care for each type of fabric:

TIPS

- Always read and follow the fabric care instructions if they are included on your garment label.

- Coats tend to accumulate residue from other fabrics or sweaters. to remove dust and lint from wool coats, especially in darker shades, you can roll scotch tape in your hand and pass it over the garment to remove it.

LIGHTWEAR

Fabric characteristics:

Microfiber is a tough synthetic fabric made from polyester, polyamides, such as nylon or kevlar or a combination of both. Microfiber is a tough fabric and can be treated for water resistance, but has specific care instructions for natural fibers. treat microfiber with care and your raincoat will protect you from the elements for many seasons.

What to do in case your raincoat gets stained?

Pre-treat stained areas with a stain remover. Choose a liquid stain remover that is safe to use on Colored fabrics for best results. Test on a clean area of the trench coat first to make sure the stain remover will not fade colors of the fabric. Dampen the stained area with cold water, then apply the liquid stain remover and rub gently. For best results, let the garment absorb the stain remover for a minimum of 30 minutes.

TIPS

- Always read and follow the fabric care instructions if they are included on the label of your raincoat.

- It is not necessary to wash your trench coat regularly. Outerwear as such, rarely come in contact with bare skin, decreasing the need for frequent washing. hanging your trench coat in a place with plenty of fresh air will refresh the fabric between uses.

- Avoid using fabric softeners and dryer sheets with your microfiber trench coat, as they can damage the fabric.
