The more pics I see of the powder wool, the more I like it (especially the oat color). What’s the consensus…TTS on the crew sweater?

I know some of you have washed the elderberry hemi but has anyone washed the speedway hemi? Does it still retain the softness that it original has.

I have washed all my hemis, they stay pretty soft. if you want to keep them pristene i guess you would never wash them- but lets be honest, you're going to have to at some point. Just accept it!

Speedway, Paloma, Honey, Cinder, and Elderberry are already washed - they should get better with age and washing, I wash and dry mine. Our care labels are cautious to protect the garment, so it’s really up to your discretion but you can wash most our clothes. Denim - turn it inside out and wash cold gentle cycle, hang dry. Don’t ever wash cashmere, wool, silk.

^ what typically shrinks clothing is heat, mostly in drying. Unless it’s unsanforized, which is pretty rare and typical of shrink to fit denim, if you gentle wash cotton or nylon and hang dry (use a drying rack not a hanger unless it’s a button up) you should be good.

Again don’t do this to silk, wool, angora, cashmere - anything organic / animal derived.

This goes for any clothing. Don’t hold me responsible if something gets messed up but just sending some advice.

Lastly there is a specific strategy to raw denim fades which is to not wash, I agree with it only in this instance.
