Small Habits Preserve the Jacket.

A letterman jacket combines materials that age differently. Care should protect the most delicate element first: the decorated patches.

Avoid Washing

Decorated letterman jackets should not go through a washing machine. Water, agitation, and heat can flatten chenille and stress wool, leather, and stitching.

Handle Moisture Fast

If the jacket gets damp, blot with a dry cloth and let it air dry naturally. Never use heat, and avoid rubbing chenille pile while it is wet.

Spot Clean Carefully

Use a soft dry cloth for surface dust. For stains, blot gently and ask a professional cleaner before using solvents around patches or leather sleeves.

Store on a Broad Hanger

Keep the jacket on a padded or broad wooden hanger in a breathable garment bag. Avoid folding the jacket or compressing raised chenille patches.
