Workshop Reference 005 Care & wear
Care Guide
Guidance for caring for handmade garments and workshop goods, including washing, storage, repairs, and long-term maintenance.
Good materials get better with use, but they still need care.
The short version: wash less, air out more, repair early, and let honest wear happen.
Denim And Canvas
Wash cold when needed. Hang dry. Expect fading, creasing, and character.
Wool
Air out between wears. Spot clean when possible. Wash gently only when needed.
Leather
Keep it dry when you can. Condition sparingly. Let patina do its work.
Repairs
Small repairs done early keep pieces in rotation longer.
