STEP 1
WASHING MEN'S VELVET CLOTHES
For the three types of men's velvet Hartford: We recommend machine washing at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric’s texture and structure.

STEP 2
DRYING MEN'S VELOUR CLOTHES
Drying the velvet clothing for men This is a crucial step for ensuring the longevity of the velvet. Do not use a dryer: the heat flattens the pile and distorts the fabric. Instead, air-dry the garment flat or on a hanger, avoiding direct sunlight. If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron (110°C maximum) and always iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid marking the velvet. A light steam treatment can also restore volume to the pile.
