Custom Shirts – See Label
At Proper Cloth, we offer a wide range of shirt styles, and depending on the type of fabric used for the shirt, the care instructions will be different. Washing your shirt according to the suggested care instructions will help ensure that the shirt lasts a long time and will look its best.
Custom Shirt care instructions by material type.
Casual Pants – Wash Cold, Air Dry
Proper Cloth’s casual pants are garment washed during production for a softer and more relaxed feel and to minimize potential shrinkage over time. As with denim, we recommend washing them every few wears—not quite as often as you wash your shirts. Launder them at home with cold water and like colors on your washing machine’s delicate or hand-wash setting, and then hang them to dry.

Tailored Clothing – Dry Clean Sparingly
Dry cleaning is the recommended cleaning method for tailored clothing (jackets, dress trousers, suits, and tuxedos), though it should be done as infrequently as possible—after several wears or once per season, not after each wear. Garments cleaned less frequently will last longer than garments cleaned more frequently.

Sweaters & Knitwear – Hand Wash or Dry Clean
Proper Cloth offers sweaters in a variety of styles and materials. For almost all materials and blends a careful hand wash in cold water is best. After washing, lay the sweater down on a dry towel on a flat, waterproof surface. You may need to reshape the sweater a bit. Don’t stretch it beyond its original size to avoid damage. Once the sweater is shaped to its original size, leave it to air dry.
Note: Specific care instructions should also be included on the tag sewn inside your Proper Cloth sweater. For cashmere and cashmere blend knits, dry cleaning is another option.
Essentials – Machine Wash, Tumble Dry Low
Proper Cloth Essentials, including socks, underwear, and t-shirts are machine washable. Washing similar colors in cold water is recommended to prevent fading or transfer or dye between garments. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
Note: Specific care instructions will also be included on the tag sewn inside your Proper Cloth essential or in the original packaging.
Outerwear – Dry Clean Sparingly
Similar to Tailored Clothing, all outerwear items should be dry cleaned only. For outerwear, typically dry cleaning should be done as infrequently as possible or in the event of a stain.
