Pendleton Logo Wool Flat Brim - 32633

Proper care will ensure years of wear for your Pendleton blankets and clothes. But because wool is naturally stain, odor and wrinkle-resistant it's low maintenance. Minor wrinkles disappear when a garment is hung, and 24 hours usually restores a smooth appearance. And there's no need to clean a garment every time you wear it. Just brush with a lint brush and air out between wearings.

Many of our washable wool shirts, including our Board and Lodge Shirts, have been pre-washed and have a special finish to prevent shrinkage. Choose one method of cleaning and maintain it.  If you choose to dry clean your washable wool - do not then wash it later.  Dry cleaning may remove the special finish, Please reference the tag for specific care instructions. Machine washable wool blankets should be washed cold on the gentle cycle tumbled dry on low.

Dry cleaning is the best way to maintain your blanket. Even with the mildest washing methods blankets will lose 3"-6" in length. And shrinkage could increase with successive launderings. Also, blankets may become stiff and dense, permanently changing the soft hand and smooth appearance. So unless a blanket specifically states "washable" please dry clean only.

Moth damage typically occurs during storage or when wool garments aren't worn regularly. Clothes moths, which are small and buff-colored, choose dark, quiet places to lay eggs and their larvae feed on wool. Here are several easy ways to help prevent that damage:

1. Brush your blankets or the wool clothes in your active wardrobe regularly with a lint or nylon-bristled clothes brush.
2. Clean wool articles before storing. Soiled wools (even those with invisible body oils) are more likely to attract moths.
3. After cleaning, store wools in an airtight bag or container.
4. Mothballs and crystals are very effective. However, cedar and herbal products have limited effectiveness.
