Every Tervan piece is built to be worn, not preserved, so looking after it is refreshingly simple.
The short version
- Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, inside out.
- Wash with like colours. Our tones are garment-dyed, so give the first wash its own company.
- Mild detergent. No bleach, and no fabric softener, which coats the fibre and dulls a garment-dyed finish.
- Line dry in the shade. Low heat only if you must.
- Cool iron to sharpen things up if the day calls for it.
Whatever the cloth
A smooth cotton, a textured rib or a structured knit, the rule is the same. Cold water protects the colour and the fibre. Air-drying keeps the drape and holds the shape. Wash inside out to protect any surface texture, and reshape collars and cuffs by hand while damp so the line stays clean.
Wear it in
Garment-dyed cotton softens and settles with every wash. That is the point. A Tervan piece is not meant to look new forever. It is meant to look like yours.
No special detergents, no dry-cleaning, no fuss. Wear it often, wash it kindly, and it'll return the favour for years.
made to remain.
