How should I wash my &SONS clothes?
It's important to follow the care label instructions for each &SONS product. However, as a general rule, we recommend avoiding tumble drying and using any stain removers. If you happen to spill something on your garment, wash it as soon as possible. Direct detergent in the washing machine should be avoided. If you want more information about product care, you can refer to our product care manual on our website, which provides detailed information on how to care for our garments. Additionally, some of our products may require hand washing, so always check the care label instructions before washing your &SONS clothes.

How should I wash my &SONS jeans?
For general guidelines on washing denim, please refer to our product care manual on our website. If you want to maintain the original look of your denim and create a unique fade pattern, we recommend avoiding washing your jeans if possible. Instead, spot clean them as needed. If you do decide to wash your jeans, be sure to wash them separately and use a gentle cycle with cold water (around 30 degrees Celsius).
Follow the care label instructions provided with the jeans to ensure the best results. Most of our jeans are made with raw denim, which is untreated and un-washed. The fabric is sanforised or de-sized at the mill to minimize shrinkage after washing. However, please note that our Brandon Jeans are made from a stretch denim fabric, which means they may shrink slightly after washing. But don't worry, the fabric will relax after a few hours of wear. To ensure the best fit and longest life for your &SONS jeans, always follow the care label instructions and refer to our product care manual for more detailed information. Here >
How should I care for my leather goods
To care for your leather goods, we recommend spot cleaning them with a damp cloth as needed. You can also rub out some marks or scratches by hand. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or solvents on the leather, as this can damage the material. If your leather goods get wet, let them dry naturally, away from any heat sources. Do not dry them with a hairdryer or any other artificial heat source, as this can cause the leather to crack and become damaged.
At &SONS, we use vegetable-tanned (non-chemically dyed) 'pull-up leather' for our accessories. This type of leather is designed to develop a unique patina over time, as it lightens in some areas and becomes shinier in others with use. This is a natural process that adds character and individuality to your leather goods. To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather goods, avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or sunlight for prolonged periods. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you have any specific concerns about caring for your &SONS leather goods, feel free to contact us for advice.
Why does indigo dye run?
Indigo dye is not very colourfast because it does not bond well to yarns or fabrics. Unlike other dyes that penetrate and bond to fibres, indigo dye sits on the surface of the fabric and is easily rubbed off. This is what gives raw denim its unique character and creates the fades on your jeans over time.
What hat size am I?
To determine your hat size, you need to measure your head circumference. To do this, use a flexible tape measure and hold it around your head, just above your ears and eyebrows. Make sure the tape measure is snug but not too tight. The tape measure should sit over the middle of your forehead.
Once you have measured your head circumference, round up to the nearest centimetre. This measurement will help you determine your hat size. Our hats are sized M-XXL, and a size guide is provided on the product page under the label size.
If you are still unsure about your hat size, don't hesitate to contact us for assistance. We want to
ensure that you find the perfect fit for your &SONS hat
