These jackets are made from wool or loden fabric, so they need a bit of gentle care to stay looking good for years. Avoid washing it in a regular washing machine — dry cleaning is the safest option, especially if it has embroidery or decorative buttons. Between wears, just air it out and brush off any dust or dirt with a soft brush instead of washing it every time. If it gets a small stain, spot-clean it gently rather than soaking the whole jacket. And when you're not wearing it, hang it on a proper hanger in a dry place — avoid folding it for long periods, as that can damage the shape and fabric.
