Paul & Shark garments are designed to last. Made in Italy with high-quality materials, they combine technical performance, comfort, and elegance. However, to preserve their luster, shape, and functional properties, it is essential to care for them correctly.
Here are our expert tips to extend the lifespan of your Paul & Shark clothing.
👕 1. Read the label carefully
First and foremost, always check the care label found inside each garment. Paul & Shark uses a wide variety of materials (merino wool, premium cotton, Typhoon™ technical fabrics, etc.) that require specific treatment.
🧼 2. Machine washing: moderation and delicacy
-
Use a gentle cycle (30 °C maximum).
-
Opt for a mild detergent, bleach-free, suitable for delicate textiles.
-
Turn garments inside out before washing to preserve colors and prints.
-
Avoid the tumble dryer, unless stated otherwise: it can damage technical fabrics or shrink natural fibers.
✅ Tip:
Wash technical jackets and sweatshirts separately from cotton or wool garments to prevent friction and wear.
👚 3. Care for wool pieces (sweaters, cardigans…)
-
Hand wash in cold water, or use a wool cycle if permitted.
-
Use a special wool or mild detergent.
-
Dry flat on a towel, away from a direct heat source (no radiators!).
-
Avoid using a hanger for drying to preserve the garment's shape.
🧥 4. Down jackets and Typhoon™ technical jackets
Technical pieces require special care to maintain their waterproof and breathable properties:
-
Wash them alone, on a cold, delicate cycle.
-
Do not use fabric softener: it can damage the technical membrane.
-
Air dry while hanging.
-
You can use a specific water-repellent spray to reactivate rain protection after several washes.
🪡 5. Ironing and storage
-
Iron at a low temperature, using a pressing cloth if necessary.
-
Avoid ironing over logos and embroidered badges.
-
Store your clothes in a dry place, away from direct light.
-
For jackets, use a wide hanger to avoid deforming the shoulders.
♻️ 6. Eco-friendly and sustainable care
Since Paul & Shark is committed to sustainability, you can also adopt eco-responsible habits:
-
Wash less often if the garment is not stained.
-
Air out pieces regularly between wears.
-
Repair rather than replace: a small snag can often be mended or reinforced.
✨ Conclusion
Proper care allows your Paul & Shark clothes to maintain their original quality and complement your style for many seasons. By following these simple tips, you combine Italian elegance, durability, and performance.
