PRODUCT CARE
It’s a two-way thing. Take care of your silk boxers and they will take care of you.
To retain their luxurious lustre, we recommend that all of our boxers are dry cleaned. However, we appreciate dry cleaning can be inconvenient. Our boxers can be hand or machine-washed gently. These methods may cause the fabric to shrink, the colours to fade or the sheen to diminish over time.
Only use specialist silk detergent and only wash your boxers when you need to. A steam (or iron) in- between wears will provide a light clean and remove any wrinkles.
Cool, dry and dark are conditions that best suit silk in storage. As a natural fibre, it needs to breathe, so wear them often.

STEAM & IRONING
Steaming is the best method to remove wrinkles from your boxers and we recommend giving them a quick steam as soon as you take them out of their box.
Ironing or pressing can also be used to remove wrinkles. Ensure your iron is on a specialist silk or low-temperature setting and be sure to turn the boxers inside out.
