Look closer
at what you wear.
A fabric’s appearance is only part of its story. Read the composition, construction and care information for the actual garment before drawing conclusions about how it will fit your routine.
A considered point of view.
Composition
The fibre information identifies what the garment is made from; use the exact listing or label.
Construction
Weave, knit, panels and finishing details can differ between garments with similar-looking surfaces.
Care
Cleaning and drying requirements belong to the specific item and its components.
The label is useful information.
A composition line and a care instruction can answer different questions. Read both when deciding how a garment belongs in your wardrobe.
- Use the exact composition statement.
- Check stated features separately.
- Keep the care label available.
Activewear scene photography for illustration. Refer to the actual product listing for the garment, composition, fit and stated features.
Read the garment, not just the photograph.
Check the stated composition
Use the percentages and material names supplied for the item. Do not assume that a familiar style uses the same blend as another garment.
Separate feel from performance
A smooth or textured surface does not prove moisture management, compression, weather protection or another technical function. Look for a clear product statement.
Consider the whole garment
Panels, linings, trims and printed areas may have different requirements. Read the full description and label rather than focusing on one visible fabric.
Keep the care information
Follow the method and limits supplied for the piece. Ask before applying an unfamiliar cleaner, heat treatment or other process.
Good to know.
Does a photograph establish fabric performance?
No. Use the actual product information for any claimed feature.
Can I use one washing method for every blend?
No. Follow the care instructions for the particular garment, including its trims and finishes.
