Uniform Care & Maintenance Advice

To preserve the shape and deep maroon tone throughout the academic year, machine wash inside out on a gentle 30°C or 40°C synthetic wash using mild detergent. Remove promptly after the cycle ends and hang naturally on a broad wooden or plastic jacket hanger. To keep the lapels and vents looking sharp, lightly press under a damp cloth using a cool setting.
