Garment Care: How to Wash Custom Embroidered Jackets
Investing in premium custom embroidered jackets for your corporate team is a major financial commitment. Embroidery is incredibly durable, but it requires specific care to maintain its crisp, professional appearance. If your staff throws their jackets into the wash without proper precautions, the delicate threads can quickly become frayed and ruined.
The Golden Rules of Maintenance
Protecting the thread tension is the most important part of washing outerwear.
- The Washing Protocol: You must always zip the jacket completely closed and wash it inside out on a gentle cycle.
- The Heat Warning: Never, under any circumstances, iron directly over the embroidery thread. The intense heat of the iron will immediately melt the synthetic polyester threads, completely destroying your logo.
The Raven32 Recommendation
Friction inside a washing machine is the biggest danger to your apparel. As printing and promotional experts, we constantly remind our clients that washing embroidered jackets inside out physically prevents the threads from aggressively snagging on open zippers or sharp buttons from other clothes in the same wash load.
