Quick Tips On Caring For Your Work Jacket

Investing in a high-quality men’s work jacket from us at Progress Clothing is always a smart move. But, you want to make sure this jacket lasts for years, so proper care and maintenance is important.

Follow a few simple steps, to keep your work jacket looking and performing its best, even in the toughest job site conditions.

Care and maintenance of work jackets

First, always follow the recommended cleaning instructions on the tag inside your jacket. Many work jackets, especially those made from durable fabrics like cotton canvas or polyester blends, can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, which can break down the fabric and cause a shorter lifespan for your jacket. Instead, try for a mild, liquid detergent and wash your jacket separately or with similar colours.

When it comes to drying your work jacket, it’s best to air dry when you can. The high heat of a dryer can damage the fabric and could shrink your jacket. Hang your jacket to dry, either on a clothesline or a drying rack, and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, which can fade the colour over time.

For jackets with special things like water-resistant or waterproof coatings, you may need to periodically re-treat the fabric to keep it doing its job. Look for specialty products designed to re-waterproof your jacket, and follow the instructions carefully to make sure you get the best results from the product.

By taking the time to properly care for and maintain your work jacket, you can extend its lifespan and ensure it continues to provide the protection, functionality, and style you need on the job.
