How to care for your winter coat
Washing, drying, pro tips: discover how to care for your Audvik winter coat to keep it in perfect condition season after season.
Spring cleaning starts in the wardrobe
The return of fine weather marks the end of the season for your winter coat. Before storing it, one step is essential: clean it properly. Whether you wear a men's winter coat or a women's winter coat, proper care makes all the difference in the garment's longevity.
Since 1979, Audvik has been designing coats meant to last. Made with insulating and bio-based materials, each piece is designed to last through the seasons. Taking care of your coat means extending the life of everything that goes into it.
What to know before washing
Audvik coats are made from recycled polyester from plastic bottles, with Fellex-Sorona Bio-Warm Core Recycled or Primaloft Black insulation depending on the model. These technical materials perform better over time when washed correctly.
Step 1: Machine washing
Start by preparing your coat: remove the fur and detach the hood. The latter can be washed in the same load, separately. Then turn the coat inside out to protect the outer fabric.
Run a cold water cycle with a mild liquid soap. Two rules to remember: no bleach, no dry cleaning. These products degrade technical fibers and compromise the garment's insulating properties.
Step 2: Flat drying
Once the cycle is complete, do not wring your coat. Air dry it flat in a well-ventilated area. Avoid ironing and fabric softener, which alter the structure of insulating materials.
Pro tip: A few minutes in the dryer on low heat immediately after washing can remove excess moisture, before letting the coat air dry naturally flat. A short step that makes a real difference.
Storage: the final touches
Once your coat is completely dry, store it in an airy place, away from direct light and humidity. Avoid airtight plastic bags that trap residual moisture. A breathable fabric cover is ideal.
An investment that lasts
A quality winter coat, whether designed for men or women, represents a thoughtful choice. Caring for it carefully means respecting both the garment's design and the responsible materials it is made from. At Audvik, every coat is designed to last several seasons. It's up to you to take care of it.
