Logbook FW2017/18
Life is an adventure. Leaving everthing behind to start this brand was a risk. But the ability to take calculated risks, it turns out, is actually an essential human trait, crucial to our development as a species and as individuals. Our risk-taking ancestors were the survivors, the daring ones that discovered new lands, invented fire, wheels and light. Risk is whatever gives you that ‘electrifing’ feeling where you wonder what’s going to happen next, risk makes you push your limits, face things that makes you uncomfortable and it’s a crucial experience for anyone who wants to be emotionally resilient, confident, happy, and engaged with life. You don’t have to take up parachuting or swim with sharks to reap the rewards. Just embrace the adventure of uncertainty and follow your dreams. On the other side of that fear, opportunity awaits. “Do one thing every day that scares you” – Eleanor Roosevelt

How to care If you take proper care of your new favourite shirt, then it can last many years, even if nothing lasts for ever. Read our good advice to extend the lifespan of your shirts. This information covers cotton shirts. Other quality fabrics may require other treatments.
Before washing
Ironing
Undo all buttons, empty any pockets and remove the collar bones. Turn the shirt inside out. Read the shirt’s washing instruction label.
1. Place the collar flat. Iron the collar’s underside (the reverse side), from the collar edge to the middle, while also stretching the top seam. 2. Iron the upper side (the face side) in the same way.
After washing
3. Iron the shoulder yoke; the inside first and then the outside.
It is preferable to let the shirt drip dry, without spin drying. Gently stretch the shirt’s seams and place on a hanger.
4. Iron the cuffs; the inside first and then the outside. 5. Iron the arms in the same way. 6. Place the shirt flat with the front pieces together. Iron the side seams first, then the front pieces. 7. Turn the shirt inside out and iron the back of the shirt.
Storage Hang or fold the shirt after washing and ironing. It is best to store the shirt on a hanger with the collar button done up. If the shirt is to be stored folded, then do up all the buttons.
