Harris Tweed® care guide

Never goes out of style.

Harris Tweed® resists water, wear and tear, and can be repaired with the simplest of tools.

Thank you for choosing one our products, you will find helpful hints and tips here to look after your treasured item and how to make it last.

Our Harris Tweed® is made from Pure New Wool, so it is best to wash it as little as possible.

When someone asks us how to wash their accessory our best answer is simply that you don’t.

Or at least you normally don’t have to.

Wool has natural anti-bacterial and odour-resistant properties that makes washing largely redundant.

Simply air your wool product in the fresh air or give them a gentle steam with an iron, not pressing just steaming gently.

If needs be you can also use a
soft garment brush brushing them lengthwise to remove dust and dirt that may dull the
appearance of wool fabrics.

If you prefer to wash your Tweed accessories please follow the following care instructions below.

Hand wash in cool, clean water, 30 degrees max.

We recommend using a wool liquid soap or even a good quality 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner. 

Never use powder detergent.

Gently massage a small amount of the soap through the garment, be cautious not to wring, rub or stretch whilst washing.

Rinse the garment in fresh water.

Do not lift the item up as wet fabric weighs more and will stretch.

Gently roll the product in a towel to squeeze excess water out of material.

Lay the garment flat on a towel, reshaping whilst doing so.

Leave to dry naturally away from direct heat sources and out of sunlight.

Use a steam iron to gently press the item. 

If you have purchased a reuse product made with PVC.

Do not put it in the washing machine or tumble dryer. 

Clean with a damp cloth and hang outside to dry.
