How to care for a winter duty jacket

A little care keeps your jacket warm, neat and long-lasting. Always check the care label inside the jacket first.

Everyday care

  • Brush off dust and mud once it dries.
  • Wipe small marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
  • Hang it up after each shift so it can air out.

Washing

  • Close all zips, snaps and pockets, and empty the pockets.
  • Turn the jacket inside out.
  • Wash in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent, by hand or on a gentle machine cycle.
  • Don't use bleach, and avoid fabric softener, which can flatten padding.

Drying

  • Gently squeeze out water; don't wring or twist.
  • Dry flat or on a wide hanger in the shade. Strong sunlight can fade the colour.
  • Once dry, shake the jacket and pat the padding to spread it evenly.

Ironing

Use a low heat setting on the reverse side, or skip ironing and hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom to release creases.

Storing it in summer

Make sure it's fully clean and dry, then store it on a hanger in a breathable cover, away from damp. Don't pack it tightly or store it in plastic for months.
