Care Guide for Our Vintage Uppers

1. Fabric-Specific Washing

• Cotton/Poplin Shirts: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.

• Linen Shirts/Blouses: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Air dry to prevent shrinking.

• Cashmere Sweaters: Hand wash in lukewarm water with a wool-safe detergent. Lay flat to dry.

• Silk Blouses: Hand wash with cool water or dry clean. Avoid wringing; press gently with a towel to remove excess water.

• Wool Sweaters: Use a wool-safe detergent and hand wash. Reshape while damp and dry flat.

2. Ironing & Steaming

• Use a steamer for delicate fabrics like silk or cashmere.

Care Guide for Old Money Shoes

Timeless, well-crafted shoes are a hallmark of the "Old Money" aesthetic. Here's how to maintain their elegance and longevity:

1. Leather Shoes (Oxfords, Loafers, Derbies, and Boots)

Cleaning:

• Wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt after each wear.

• Use a leather cleaner or saddle soap for deep cleaning (test on a small area first).

Conditioning:

• Apply leather conditioner every 2–3 months to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.

Polishing:

• Use a matching or neutral polish to restore shine. Apply with a soft cloth or horsehair brush and buff to a smooth finish.

• For high shine, apply a small amount of water during the buffing process (known as "spit shining").

Storage:

• Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain shape.

• Store in a dust bag or breathable container to avoid scuffing and allow airflow.

2. Suede Shoes (Loafers, Boots, and Driving Moccasins)

Cleaning:

• Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap.

• For stains, apply a suede eraser or a mix of white vinegar and water, then blot gently.

Protection:

• Spray with a suede protector to repel water and stains.

• Avoid wearing suede in wet or muddy conditions.

Storage:

• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to prevent misshaping.

3. Velvet Shoes (Slippers or Formal)

Cleaning:

• Gently brush with a soft toothbrush or velvet brush to remove dust.

• Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for stains.

Protection:

• Apply a fabric protector spray specifically for velvet or textiles.

• Avoid excessive exposure to moisture.

Storage:

• Store in a cloth bag with padding to maintain shape and avoid crushing the fabric.

4. Sneakers (Minimalist Leather or Canvas)

Cleaning:

• Leather sneakers: Wipe with a damp cloth and use leather cleaner for deeper cleaning.

• Canvas sneakers: Hand wash with mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid soaking.

Maintenance:

• Use white polish or cleaner to restore brightness to soles and uppers.

• Replace laces as needed to keep them looking fresh.

Storage:

• Stuff with tissue paper or shoe trees to maintain shape.

• Store in original boxes or breathable shoe organizers.

5. General Shoe Maintenance Tips

• Rotate your shoes: Avoid wearing the same pair daily to allow them to breathe and recover.

• Waterproofing: Apply a waterproof spray to all shoes (except velvet) to protect against rain and spills.

• Resoling: Take leather-soled shoes to a cobbler for resoling when the soles show significant wear.

• Heel and Toe Caps: Add rubber caps to high-use areas for added longevity.

• Lining Care: Wipe insides with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove odors and bacteria.

• Travel Care: Use shoe bags or padded containers during travel to avoid scuffs and deformations.

6. Seasonal Considerations

• Winter: Use shoe wax or mink oil on leather for extra protection against snow and salt.

• Rain: Avoid wearing delicate materials like suede; opt for water-resistant leather shoes.

• Summer: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent odor and moisture buildup.
