Clothing Products – User GuideUpdated 2 months ago
Introduction
When purchasing clothing products, it is important to choose items that are suitable for their intended use (sport, leisure, or everyday wear). Selecting the right product helps ensure comfort, durability, and proper performance.
Improper use may lead to faster wear or damage. For this reason, please carefully read the information provided on the sewn-in labels, hangtags, and product packaging before use. If you have any questions, our team will be happy to assist you.
Labelling and material composition
Important product information can usually be found in two places:
the sewn-in label inside the garment
the hangtag attached to the product
The following information is typically included:
material composition of the product
size indication
care symbols and washing instructions
product name
product identification number or article code
Information on the sewn-in label
Material composition
The label specifies the materials used in the garment (for example cotton, polyester, elastane, etc.).
Size indication
Products may use size systems from different countries. For example:
US (United States): L
CAN (Canada): G
D (Germany): 40
UK (United Kingdom): 14
F (France): 42
E (Spain): 44
I (Italy): 44
These different size systems may represent the same body size depending on the country.
Care symbols
Washing instructions
The number shown in the washing symbol indicates the maximum washing temperature.
Hand symbol: hand wash only, maximum 40°C
One line under the symbol: gentle wash cycle
Two lines under the symbol: very gentle wash cycle
No line under the symbol: normal wash cycle
Bleaching
A triangle with the Cl symbol indicates that chlorine bleaching is allowed.
Ironing
Ironing temperature is indicated by dots:
One dot – up to 110°C (for delicate synthetic fabrics)
Two dots – up to 150°C
Three dots – up to 200°C
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging the fabric.
Dry cleaning
The letters indicate the allowed solvents:
A – all common solvents may be used
P – perchloroethylene and similar solvents may be used
F – fluorine or petroleum-based solvents may be used
Underlined symbols indicate that the cleaning process must be very gentle.
Drying
One dot – low drying temperature
Two dots – higher drying temperature
Crossed symbols always indicate a prohibited treatment.
General care recommendations
Wash colored garments separately before first use.
Products that release dye should be washed separately and inside out.
Loop-surface fabrics should be washed before first wear to reduce surface looping.
Swimwear should be rinsed with clean water after swimming and washed with mild detergent.
Do not dry swimwear in direct sunlight.
Close zippers, drawstrings, and Velcro fasteners before washing.
Some sweaters (especially wool or cotton) should be dried flat to prevent deformation.
Always use detergent suitable for the fabric type (for example wool detergent for wool garments).
Printed patterns should not be ironed directly.
Cotton-polyester T-shirts and sweaters may develop small fabric balls (pilling). Washing them inside out can help reduce this effect.
Important information
All products must be used and cared for according to the instructions on the sewn-in labels and care symbols. Improper handling may damage the product and may affect your warranty rights.
Never apply detergents or fabric softeners in concentrated form directly onto the garment.
When washing garments with multiple colors, use a gentle detergent and follow the recommended washing instructions to prevent color transfer.
Most modern clothing does not require soaking. If the product is heavily soiled, pre-washing is recommended instead of long soaking, as prolonged soaking may cause staining.
