How to get the most out of the wardrobe you have

Short answer: Correct washing, rotating between several identical pieces and the right size are the three things that extend the lifespan most. They cost nothing.

The washing

40 degrees, no fabric softener and no tumble dryer can double the lifespan. See the washing guide.

Rotation

If you have several identical pieces, each one is worn and washed less often. See bamboo underwear for men.

The size

Clothes that are stretched all day wear out faster. See the size guide.

Drying

Lay heavy clothes flat and hang light ones freely. See how to dry bamboo clothing.

Storage

Clean and dry clothes in an airy wardrobe keep best. See storing bamboo clothing.

Repair

A small hole is closed with a few stitches. See how to patch a small hole in bamboo clothing.

See the range

See the range in bamboo clothing for women.

Air rather than wash

Clothes you have not sweated in can be aired for a night instead of being washed. That saves both time and wear. See bamboo t-shirts for men.
