🧺 Care
Domestic machine washing on a normal cycle.
Hang it up straight after the spin cycle: with 65% polyester it comes out almost smooth.
Iron at medium temperature. No bleach on black or sky blue.
💡 Tip: the darted fit is snug at the waist, so choose the size by chest measurement, not by the size you would take in a unisex shirt. If you work with a bib apron and need room to lift your arms, go up a size; the 115 g/m² poplin has no stretch to compensate.
