Uniform Care & Maintenance Advice

To maintain the sharp creases and rich black colour throughout the school year, machine wash inside out on a gentle 30°C or 40°C synthetic cycle with mild detergent. Shake out damp trousers thoroughly and hang by the hem to dry naturally and reduce creasing. When required, press on a medium setting under a clean pressing cloth to protect the finish.
