How to keep a wool coat for twenty years

Brush it, rest it, and stay away from the dry cleaner more than you think.

A good wool coat should outlast several phones and at least one city. Most of what it needs is patience.

Brush, do not wash

After wearing, brush the coat downwards with a natural bristle brush. This lifts dust before it settles into the cloth.

Rest it

Wool recovers its shape if you let it hang for a day between wears. Use a wide wooden hanger that supports the shoulder.

Dry clean rarely

Once a season is enough. Solvents strip the natural oils that keep wool soft.

Most damage to good clothes is done by cleaning them too often.

Store it properly

In summer, keep the coat in a cotton bag with cedar. Never in plastic.
