We know you love your garments - they're central to your everyday adventures and special moments alike. To help you cherish these pieces for even longer, proper care is essential. Here's how to maintain your garments, so you can continue creating memories in them while embracing a more sustainable lifestyle.

Infrequent Washing: Your Far Afield garments are built to last. Washing them less frequently helps preserve their quality and reduces environmental impact. Instead of washing after every wear, try airing out and spot cleaning as needed. This approach keeps your garments fresh and extends their lifespan.

Use Cool Water: Wash at 30°C or cooler to protect the fabric and colors. Always refer to the care labels for specific instructions. Separate lights from darks and ensure all garments are prepped - zippers zipped, pockets emptied - to avoid damage during washing. Select a gentle, biodegradable detergent that’s kind to both your garments and the planet. Avoid fabric softeners, which can break down fibers and reduce garment longevity.

Air Dry When Possible: The tumble dryer can be harsh on fabrics, causing shrinkage and fading. Opt for air drying whenever you can. Hang your garments or lay them flat to dry naturally, helping to maintain their shape and fit while conserving energy.

By following these simple care tips, you're not only ensuring your garments look great for years to come but also making a conscious choice to support sustainable fashion. The most sustainable garments are those you wear and cherish over time. Take care of them, and they’ll take care of you - wherever your adventures may lead.
