How do I care for my specialty apparel fabrics?

Because of the large variety of materials included in this range, there is no easy answer, as some of the materials will require hand-washing, some will need dry cleaning, and some may only be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more advice, please check product details or ask advice from our experienced sales staff.
