Work Shirts

• Wash: Machine wash cool (cold water), mild laundry detergent. Do not bleach.
• Dry: Tumble dry low, or hang to dry.
• Iron: Oxford weave wrinkles are part of the casual-office aesthetic; iron on medium-high cotton setting if needed for formal days. Hang immediately after wash to minimize creasing.
• Expected life: 4–7 years with cold wash / low dry. Oxford weave is a durable basket-weave construction; the texture holds up well to repeated washing.
• When to replace: Collar fraying (the highest-wear point); underarm fabric thinning; button holes stretched beyond usable size.

• Wash: Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Turn inside-out to preserve the chambray dye fade pattern (indigo-warp fade is a feature). Mild detergent; avoid fabric softener which blunts the texture.
• Dry: Line dry preferred (preserves the chambray weight and texture). Tumble dry low is acceptable; remove while slightly damp and hang to finish.
• Iron: Low-medium heat. Corozo buttons are natural nut material — do not iron directly on buttons (iron around them). Chambray is casual by nature; light ironing only.
• Storage: Hang on a wooden or fabric-covered hanger. Corozo buttons can be polished occasionally with a soft cloth.
• Expected life: 6–10 years. Double-needle stitch construction is more durable than single-needle. Italian cotton chambray at this weight ages gracefully — fading adds character rather than indicating wear.
• When to replace: Collar fraying; structural seam failure; fabric thinning through the elbow area (a long-wear signal).

Source: Outerknown product page did not return specific care instructions at time of research (2026-06). Instructions above are based on cotton dossier chambray-specific guidance (cold wash, inside-out for chambray, line dry, low-medium iron); corozo button care from fiber-general guidance.

• Wash: Machine wash cold with like colors only. Non-chlorine bleach when needed (Everlane stated). No fabric softeners.
• Dry: Tumble dry low. Remove while slightly damp and hang to avoid creasing.
• Iron: Warm iron. Linen at this weight (not published but likely ~155–170 GSM for shirting) responds well to damp ironing.
• Expected life: 5–8 years. Masters of Flax Fibre fiber quality means long staple starting material; life depends on how aggressively the garment was finished.
• When to replace: Collar fraying; underarm thinning; surface shredding at seams.

• Wash: Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Inside-out. No bleach. No fabric softeners.
• Dry: Line dry or hang to dry. Do not tumble dry at high heat (linen at 126 GSM is lightweight — heat will shrink it).
• Iron: Steam iron on linen setting while slightly damp. 126 GSM is the lightest appropriate shirting weight — prone to wrinkling but also the fastest to press.
• Expected life: 6–10 years with correct care. Somelos finishing and Belgian/French flax starting material means fiber quality is high.
• When to replace: Collar fray; fabric thinning at elbows; seam integrity loss.
