City Plaid Cashmere Shirt

Garment Care

We want you to enjoy your God’s True Cashmere piece for many years to come, and following our care guidance will help preserve its softness, beauty, and energetic qualities.

Garments adorned with gemstones need a little extra attention: avoid applying direct heat to the stones, and always point them out if you use a professional dry cleaning or laundry service. Please do not use harsh chemicals or apply direct pressure to the gemstones.

For all our items, we recommend washing only when necessary, ideally after 4–7 wears, and spot cleaning whenever possible to maintain the natural integrity of the fibres.

Always refer to the specific care label on your garment for exact instructions; the guidelines below are general and may not apply to every style. Please contact us if you have any queries on the care instructions.

If Dry Cleaning

• You may dry clean your garment using an eco friendly or cashmere specialist. Many dry cleaners use harsh processes which may damage your garment, so please select your dry cleaner carefully.
• The dry cleaner should not apply high heat, starch, or any harsh chemicals to the garment.
• All embellishments should be covered during dry cleaning to protect the gemstones.

If Hand Washing

Before hand washing, please check your garment label to make sure this option is suitable

• Hand wash in cold water.
• Use a delicate soap with no harsh chemicals (a lingerie wash or a cashmere specific detergent).
• To dry, lay the garment completely flat in the shade.
• If needed, you may iron on a low temperature or gently steam to release wrinkles; cashmere may require gentle reshaping when wet to regain its original size.
• Take care not to apply direct heat to the gemstones.
• Do not bleach.
• Do not tumble dry.

Storage

• Store the garment folded in it's garment pouch, in a cool dry place.
• For best protection keep it in a sealed drawer or plastic bin with a cedar block.

Pilling and Fabric Care

• Pilling is expected with all cashmere.
• Our cashmere shirts are created with the utmost softness in mind and we avoid harsh over treating, so you will experience pilling as the garment is worn; this is normal.
• To treat pilling, use a high quality cashmere comb or brush only in areas where pilling has occurred.
• Use light, repetitive strokes to remove pilling without snagging the fabric.
• Do not use a fabric shaver, as it can cut the cashmere fibres.
