Care guide
There is nothing more important than maintenance of your clothes, especially when you want them to last as long as possible, while also being kinder to the environment.
Luckily, taking care of your garments won’t make life more difficult. In the long run it will be more time efficient and you will have to spend less money on replacing ‘worn out’, or rather washed out, items of clothing.
Just like a Japanese knife, a quality piece of clothing is an investment, but once you learn how to handle it, it’s ready to last for generations. It takes time at first to figure out the know-how, but that’s why we are here.
The 3 Golden Fundamentals:
1 - Try to wash your garments only when it’s necessary, the same way you don’t leave the sink running when you brush your teeth. The less water used, the better!
2 - Always make sure to check the care labels before cleaning your clothes, because the care labels always say the truth! Try to air dry as much as you can. Cozy wear loves to dry slowly and naturally.
3 - Give love and appreciation to your garments. The longer you cherish your belongings, the longer you’ll keep creating memories with them. We believe that “what goes around, comes around” principle works here. We all deserve a little bit of love.

Briefs
Men often complain about an uncomfortable fit of their underwear, fading colors and the fabric loosing its elasticity and comfort, luckily we have taken care of that. This underwear almost takes care of it by itself, which is something we all dreamed of.
To make sure they last longer we suggest washing it in the recommended temperature, don’t add fabric softener or bleach and don’t dry in direct sunlight. We also made sure to choose a fabric made out of TENCEL™ Modal fibers, which last longer and are able to withstand many more wash and dry cycles than cotton and viscose. It makes it the perfect choice for underwear.
How to take care:
Machine wash at 30C-40C.
No bleach
Wash with similar colors.
Gently tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
Socks
We all love a good pair of socks that last. Not the ones, where your big toe says hello through a hole to your best friend, after a cold winter of wearing them.
Our organic cotton tennis socks are very resistant to all circumstances, as tennis players have high standards, but we want to share some survival tips with you. First, wash them in the recommended temperature, at max. 40°C. Also, the socks are known for being a team, they feel lonely and useless if one of them gets lost in the process.
How to take care:
Machine wash (30-40°C)
Do not tumble dry.
Use eco & mild detergent.
Hang to dry.
