Logbook SS2017
You might be thinking... there is no sea in Switzerland, so why Old Captain? Old Captain is a metaphor for taking your life into your own hands, being courageous, discovering, following your instincts, working hard, creating and not being afraid to fail. If you stay still, if you don’t try, nothing will ever happen. Our upside down anchor is a symbol of freedom - to not be anchored down to this world, to a place or to what your life is supposed to be. If you dare to be courageous, follow your instincts, explore, enjoy the small things, inspire and be inspired, then you will need no ship or no sea, to conquer the world. So go out there, become your own captain, wander the world and if you can, make it a little bit better. “Not all those who wander are lost” - J. R. R. Tolkien

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.
