Colmar clothing combines Italian style, textile innovation, and technical performance. To preserve its quality, water repellency, and impeccable fit, it is essential to follow a few specific care instructions.
🧥 1. Caring for a Colmar down jacket or coat
✅ What you should do:
-
Read the interior label to check the specific instructions.
-
Machine wash cold (30°C) with a gentle detergent.
-
Use the delicate cycle or a specialized technical clothing cycle.
-
Close all zippers before washing.
-
Add 2 or 3 tennis balls to the tumble dryer to refluff the padding (if permitted).
💡 Colmar uses synthetic or natural insulating materials: drying is a crucial step to maintain the loft.
❌ What you should avoid:
-
Hot washing, which damages water-repellent fabrics.
-
The use of fabric softener or bleach.
-
Direct ironing (risk of burning technical membranes).
-
Excessive spin cycles.
👕 2. Caring for Colmar sweatshirts, polos, and t-shirts
-
Wash at 30°C maximum
-
Turn inside out to preserve logos, prints, or embroidery.
-
Air drying is recommended.
-
No tumble drying unless indicated on the label.
📌 Colmar lifestyle pieces retain their shape and color better with natural drying.
👖 3. Washing Colmar trousers and joggers
-
Delicate or gentle cotton cycle.
-
Detergent without aggressive enzymes.
-
Do not exceed 800 RPM for the spin cycle.
-
Gentle ironing if necessary, always inside out.
🎿 4. Caring for Colmar ski wear
Colmar ski jackets and trousers are designed with technical fabrics that are waterproof and breathable (Softshell membrane, Teflon, etc.).
Recommended care:
-
Machine wash cold with a specialized technical detergent.
-
No fabric softener: it alters the water-repellent properties.
-
Dry at a low temperature to reactivate the membrane.
💡 Tip: use a re-waterproofing spray after several washes to extend the life of your technical clothing.
🛠️ General best practices
-
Store your clothes on hangers in a dry place.
-
Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
-
In case of a grease stain, gently dab with a damp cloth; do not rub.
