01

Read

Check the sewn-in product care label before washing, steaming, ironing or dry cleaning.

02

Respond

Handle moisture, dust and stains promptly without aggressive rubbing or untested chemicals.

03

Reshape

Allow the coat to recover on a broad supportive hanger with natural airflow.

04

Store

Use breathable protection, a dry wardrobe and enough space to avoid crushing.

AFTER EVERY WEAR

A five-minute premium routine

Small consistent steps usually protect appearance better than frequent aggressive cleaning.

01

Empty

Remove heavy items from pockets so they do not pull the fabric or distort the shape.

02

Inspect

Check collar, cuffs, front, hem and lining for dust, moisture, marks or loose threads.

03

Brush

Use a suitable soft garment brush gently, following the fabric direction.

04

Air

Hang the coat in clean moving air away from direct sun, heaters and damp walls.

CARE BY SITUATION

Do the least harmful effective step

01

Surface Dust

Brush gently with a clean soft tool. Avoid excessive pressure that roughens the surface.

02

Fresh Spill

Blot with a clean absorbent cloth. Do not rub, spread the stain or apply an unknown chemical.

03

Rain or Moisture

Blot, reshape and air-dry naturally. Never force-dry on a radiator or with intense heat.

04

Wrinkles

Follow the label. Use controlled steaming or a pressing cloth only when the material permits it.

05

Odour

Air in a clean dry place first. Do not cover odour with heavy fragrance that can mark fabric.

06

Deep Cleaning

Use a reputable professional cleaner and clearly identify the fabric, trim and stain history.

CARE ANSWER · 01

Should I machine-wash a BRAVON coat?

Machine-wash a BRAVON coat only when the sewn-in care label expressly permits it. Structured construction, interlining, shoulder shaping, outer fabric and trims may react differently to water, detergent and agitation, so a normal machine cycle can permanently affect fit, surface and shape.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

Do this. Do not do this.

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Read the care label first

    Treat the garment-specific label as the controlling instruction for water, cycle, temperature, detergent and drying.

  2. 02
    Prepare only if washing is permitted

    Empty pockets, secure suitable fastenings and separate the coat from items that may transfer colour or cause abrasion.

  3. 03
    Use the gentlest permitted process

    Choose only the stated cycle and temperature, use a suitable measured detergent and stop if colour, texture or shape changes.

  4. 04
    Dry exactly as directed

    Reshape the coat immediately and use only the label-approved drying method with proper shoulder support.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not assume washability

    Do not use a machine because another coat tolerated it or because the outer fabric alone appears washable.

  2. 02
    Do not improvise chemistry

    Avoid bleach, strong stain remover, excess detergent, fabric softener or mixed products unless expressly permitted.

  3. 03
    Do not use aggressive mechanics

    Avoid hot water, long soaking, heavy agitation, high spin and an overloaded drum that can distort construction.

  4. 04
    Do not force-dry

    Never use unapproved tumble heat, a radiator, hair dryer or strong sunlight to accelerate drying.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.

CARE ANSWER · 02

How often should a coat be dry-cleaned?

Dry-clean according to the garment care label and the actual condition of the coat, not automatically after every wear. Brushing, airing and prompt surface care can reduce unnecessary cleaning, while visible soil, persistent odour or a difficult stain should be reviewed by a material-appropriate professional cleaner.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

Do this. Do not do this.

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Assess condition before cleaning

    Look for visible soil, collar or cuff build-up, odour and stains instead of cleaning only because a calendar date has arrived.

  2. 02
    Maintain gently between cleans

    Air the coat, empty pockets and use a suitable soft garment brush so unnecessary chemical cleaning can be reduced.

  3. 03
    Choose a capable professional

    Use a cleaner experienced with structured outerwear and tell them the outer fabric, lining, trims and construction details.

  4. 04
    Disclose every stain

    Explain the stain source, age and any product already used so the cleaner can select a safer treatment.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not clean after every wear

    Frequent unnecessary chemical processing can affect some fibres, finishes, colour and construction over time.

  2. 02
    Do not hide odour with spray

    Heavy fragrance and untested deodorising products may mark fabric or complicate professional cleaning.

  3. 03
    Do not ignore local soil

    Leaving food, body oils or a stain until the end of the season can make treatment more difficult.

  4. 04
    Do not use an uninformed cleaner

    Avoid handing over the coat without discussing material, trims, stain history and the garment-specific care label.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.

CARE ANSWER · 03

How should I store a coat between seasons?

Store the coat only after it is clean and completely dry. A broad supportive hanger, breathable garment cover, dry ventilated wardrobe and enough space around the shoulders help protect the silhouette, lining and surface during long storage.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

Do this. Do not do this.

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Clean and dry before storage

    Remove permitted surface soil and ensure no moisture remains in the outer fabric, lining, pockets or underarm area.

  2. 02
    Support the shoulders

    Use a broad strong hanger sized for the coat so its weight is distributed without creating shoulder points.

  3. 03
    Use breathable protection

    Choose a clean breathable garment cover and a dry, dark, ventilated wardrobe with enough surrounding space.

  4. 04
    Inspect during the season

    Periodically check for dampness, pests, odour, pressure marks or hanger distortion and correct the condition early.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not use a thin wire hanger

    Narrow or weak hangers can create shoulder points and may bend under the weight of structured outerwear.

  2. 02
    Do not seal in plastic long-term

    Non-breathable wrapping can trap residual moisture, odour and condensation around the garment.

  3. 03
    Do not store in a damp or bright area

    Avoid humid walls, direct sun, strong heat and locations with unstable temperature or poor airflow.

  4. 04
    Do not crush the coat

    Do not pack it tightly between garments or place boxes and heavy objects against the sleeves, lapels or shoulders.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.

CARE ANSWER · 04

What should I do after light rain?

Treat light rain as moisture management rather than a reason to scrub or heat the coat. Blot surface water, empty weighted pockets, restore the natural shape and allow slow airflow away from direct heat and strong sunlight while following the product care label.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Blot and unload

    Use a clean absorbent cloth to blot without rubbing, and remove heavy objects from wet pockets.

  2. 02
    Restore the silhouette

    Align lapels, collar, sleeves and hem gently before placing the coat on a broad supportive hanger.

  3. 03
    Allow controlled airflow

    Air-dry naturally in a ventilated area away from heaters, flames and strong sunlight.

  4. 04
    Review after it is dry

    When fully dry, inspect the surface and use a permitted soft brush only if the care label and fabric allow it.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not rub, twist or wring

    Mechanical pressure can spread marks, roughen the surface and distort a wet tailored coat.

  2. 02
    Do not apply concentrated heat

    Avoid radiators, heaters, hair dryers, flames and hot ironing because rapid drying can damage fibres and shape.

  3. 03
    Do not store while damp

    Never place the coat in a closed wardrobe or garment bag until every layer is completely dry.

  4. 04
    Do not brush a wet surface

    Wait until the coat is fully dry and the care label permits brushing, especially on textured or pile fabrics.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.

CARE ANSWER · 05

Can I iron the coat directly?

Do not place a hot iron directly on the coat unless the care label and material instructions clearly allow that method. Heat can flatten pile, create shine, mark delicate fibres, distort fused layers or damage trims; controlled low heat with protection or professional pressing is safer when permitted.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

Do this. Do not do this.

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Check every heat instruction

    Read the care symbols for temperature, steam and professional pressing before bringing heat near the coat.

  2. 02
    Test a hidden area

    When pressing is permitted, test the lowest suitable setting on an inconspicuous area before treating a visible panel.

  3. 03
    Use a clean barrier

    Place a clean pressing cloth between the iron and garment, keep contact brief and work without crushing texture.

  4. 04
    Use professional pressing when unsure

    Choose an experienced cleaner or presser for tailored construction, pile fabrics, delicate fibres or complex trims.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not start with high heat

    A high setting can create shine, scorching, flattening or damage before there is time to correct it.

  2. 02
    Do not leave the iron stationary

    Prolonged pressure and heat can mark the face fabric and affect fused internal construction.

  3. 03
    Do not press trims blindly

    Avoid direct heat on buttons, labels, embroidery, synthetic trims and coated details unless their tolerance is confirmed.

  4. 04
    Do not steam by assumption

    Some materials can watermark, stretch or change texture when steamed even without direct iron contact.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.

CARE ANSWER · 06

How do I remove lint or surface dust?

Use the least aggressive clean tool that is suitable for the fabric, and test it first on a hidden area. Gentle strokes in one direction are usually safer than repeated rubbing, harsh adhesive or cutting tools that can pull fibres and alter the surface.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

Do this. Do not do this.

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Identify the surface first

    Check the material and nap direction, then select a clean soft garment brush or compatible lint tool.

  2. 02
    Test before visible use

    Try the tool on an inconspicuous area and confirm that it does not pull fibres, leave adhesive or change sheen.

  3. 03
    Work gently in one direction

    Use light controlled passes following the fabric direction and clean the tool as lint accumulates.

  4. 04
    Stop when resistance appears

    If fibres lift, texture changes or lint remains embedded, obtain material-specific professional advice.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not scrub back and forth

    Repeated friction can raise the surface, alter nap direction and make a small area visibly different.

  2. 02
    Do not use blades or rough tools

    Razors, hard brushes and abrasive pads can cut yarns, snag loops and permanently thin the fabric.

  3. 03
    Do not press strong adhesive repeatedly

    An aggressive lint roller may pull delicate fibres or leave residue, especially on textured surfaces.

  4. 04
    Do not work on damp fabric

    Brushing or rolling a wet surface can distort fibres and spread moisture or marks.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.

CARE ANSWER · 07

What if a stain does not lift?

Stop home treatment when gentle blotting does not improve the stain or when the material response is uncertain. Record what caused the mark and anything already applied, then give that information with the fabric composition and care label to a qualified cleaner.

Product care label has priority Outer material, lining, trims and construction can require different treatment. Stop if colour, texture or shape begins to change.

SAFE CARE COMPARISON

DO THIS
  1. 01
    Blot and stop escalation

    Use a clean absorbent cloth for a fresh mark, working from the outside toward the centre without spreading it.

  2. 02
    Record the stain history

    Note what caused the mark, when it occurred and every substance already applied to the area.

  3. 03
    Check the care information

    Read the material composition and sewn-in label before deciding whether any further home treatment is permitted.

  4. 04
    Consult a qualified cleaner

    Present the stain history, care label and fabric details promptly so the cleaner can assess the safest next step.

DO NOT DO THIS
  1. 01
    Do not keep experimenting

    Repeated treatment makes the stain harder to identify and can create colour loss, rings or permanent texture change.

  2. 02
    Do not mix cleaning products

    Combining household chemicals or solvents can damage the fabric and may create unsafe fumes.

  3. 03
    Do not rub, soak or heat the mark

    Pressure, saturation and heat can spread the stain or set proteins, oils and dyes more deeply.

  4. 04
    Do not conceal previous treatment

    Always tell the cleaner what was used; missing information can lead to an incompatible second treatment.

When uncertain, stop treatment and ask a qualified garment-care professional.
