Jacket Care Guide
Your Urbanixity jacket is designed to maintain its shape, comfort,
and style with proper care. Following the instructions below can help
protect the fabric, lining, stitching, color, texture, and overall finish.
Always check the care label attached to your product before cleaning,
washing, conditioning, ironing, or drying it. Where the care label
differs from this general guide, follow the product’s care label.
General Jacket Care
Handle your jacket carefully and avoid unnecessary washing. Most
outerwear does not require cleaning after every wear.
- Hang the jacket after wearing it.
- Allow it to air naturally in a clean and ventilated place.
- Avoid placing it near heaters, radiators, or open flames.
- Remove surface dust before storing the jacket.
- Avoid overfilling pockets, as this may affect the jacket’s shape.
General Cleaning Instructions
-
Use a soft, dry cloth or soft brush to remove surface dust.
-
For light marks, gently wipe the affected area with a slightly
damp, clean cloth. -
Do not rub aggressively, as this may damage the color, texture,
coating, or finish. -
Avoid bleach, strong detergents, alcohol-based cleaners,
solvents, and harsh chemicals. -
Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean unless the
attached care label clearly permits it. -
Always test a cleaning or conditioning product on a small hidden
area before applying it to the complete jacket.
Leather & Faux Leather Jackets
Gently wipe leather or faux leather with a soft cloth. Avoid
soaking the material or applying excessive water.
- Use only a cleaner suitable for the specific material.
- Test cleaners and conditioners on a hidden area first.
- Do not use regular household detergents or alcohol cleaners.
- Keep away from direct heat, dryers, and prolonged sunlight.
- Do not fold for extended periods.
Excessive heat, moisture, or unsuitable cleaning products may
cause dryness, fading, peeling, stiffness, or cracking.
Suede Jackets
Suede requires gentle handling and should be protected from
excessive moisture.
- Use a proper suede brush to remove dust.
- Brush gently in the direction of the surface texture.
- Avoid wearing suede in heavy rain or very wet conditions.
- Do not apply regular leather polish to suede.
- Do not apply water directly to remove stains.
If suede becomes damp, allow it to dry naturally at room
temperature. Once dry, brush it gently to help restore its texture.
Denim, Cotton & Fabric Jackets
For denim, cotton, polyester, or blended fabric jackets, spot
cleaning is recommended whenever practical.
- Follow the attached care label before washing.
- Wash with similar colors where washing is permitted.
- Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent where appropriate.
- Avoid bleach unless specifically permitted by the care label.
- Avoid excessive heat during drying.
High washing or drying temperatures may affect the jacket’s
size, color, lining, structure, or finish.
Wool & Blended Outerwear
Wool and wool-blend garments may require professional cleaning
depending on the attached care label.
- Remove light dust with a soft clothing brush.
- Avoid excessive water and household stain removers.
- Do not wring, stretch, or apply direct heat.
- Use a wide hanger to help maintain the garment’s shape.
Rain & Moisture
If your jacket becomes wet, do not use a hair dryer, tumble dryer,
heater, radiator, or other direct heat source.
- Gently blot excess moisture with a clean, absorbent towel.
- Hang the jacket on a suitable wide hanger.
- Allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature.
-
Once fully dry, gently brush or wipe the surface according to
the material.
Do not store the jacket while it is damp, as trapped moisture may
cause odor, staining, mildew, or material damage.
Stain Care
Treat fresh stains as soon as reasonably possible. Blot the affected
area gently with a clean cloth instead of rubbing it.
Professional cleaning is recommended for:
- Deep or set-in stains
- Oil or grease marks
- Ink stains
- Leather discoloration
- Suede damage
- Strong or persistent odors
- Large areas affected by water
- Delicate or structured outerwear
Select a professional cleaner experienced with the jacket’s specific
material.
Storage Tips
-
Hang the jacket on a wide or padded hanger to help maintain its shape.
-
Store it in a cool, clean, dry, and ventilated space.
-
Avoid folding leather, suede, or structured jackets for long periods.
-
Do not use sealed plastic covers for long-term storage.
-
Use a breathable garment bag where additional protection is needed.
-
Keep the jacket away from direct sunlight to help reduce fading.
-
Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before storage.
-
Avoid placing heavy items on top of the jacket.
Ironing and Steaming
Do not iron leather, faux leather, suede, coated fabric, or any
material that is not clearly marked as suitable for ironing.
For fabric jackets, use only the temperature and method permitted by
the product’s care label. Avoid applying steam directly to delicate,
coated, leather, or suede surfaces.
Professional Cleaning
Where professional cleaning is required, inform the cleaner of the
jacket’s complete material composition, trims, lining, patches,
embroidery, printing, hardware, and other decorative details.
Urbanixity recommends using a cleaner experienced in outerwear and
the specific jacket material.
Important Care Notice
Every jacket and material may require different care. Always follow
the care label supplied with the product. Before using any cleaner,
conditioner, protector spray, stain treatment, or other product,
test it on a small hidden area first.
Damage caused by improper washing, unsuitable chemicals, excessive
heat, unauthorized alterations, product misuse, or failure to follow
the supplied care instructions may not be considered a manufacturing
defect.
