Drying

  • If not secured before washing, close all fasteners prior to drying.

  • When using a dryer, use low to medium heat.

  • To prevent overdrying, remove clothing while slightly damp.

  • To dry heavy garments, lay flat to prevent stretching.

Storage

  • Store with adaptive features properly fastened.

  • Use padded hangers for structured garments.

  • Keep in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures.

  • Rotate garments regularly to prevent permanent creases from developing.

Maintenance

  • Inspect adaptive features periodically for wear or damage.

  • Clean fastener areas with a soft brush if needed.

Essential Care Steps

  1. Pre-Wash Preparation: Close all Hana Fasteners™ securely before washing. This protects the fastening mechanism and prevents snagging on other garments.

  • Proper Storage: Store with fasteners closed to maintain shape.

 

Denim Care Guide

Preserve the quality, fit, and color of your denim with proper care techniques.

Step-by-Step Care Process

  1. Pre-Treatment: Turn jeans inside out to protect the outer surface and color. Check pockets for items and fasten all closures.

  2. Cold Water Wash: Use cold water (30°C/86°F or below) to prevent shrinking and fading. Cold water preserves the denim's structure and color.

  3. Gentle Cycle: Select a gentle or delicate wash cycle to minimize agitation. Less agitation means less wear on fibers and seams.

  4. Air Dry: Hang dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Lay flat for heavy denim to prevent stretching.

Washing Frequency by Denim Type

  • Stretch Denim: Every 2-3 wears. Avoid high heat to maintain elastane fibers. 

  • Dark Denim: Every 4-5 wears. Wash separately the first few times to prevent color bleeding.

  • Light/Faded Denim: After each wear, if needed. More tolerant to frequent washing, less color loss risk.

 

Important Warnings

  • Avoid commercial washers and dry cleaning for garments with magnetic or electronic components.
