Garment Care

The K.Ritchie collection features luxury fabrics and sophisticated blends that require special care when washing. Please follow our garment care instructions closely to keep your K.Ritchie garment in peak condition.

Choose the correct size

Take care when choosing a garment size. If worn too tightly seam slippage will occur. Please refer to the Size Chart.

General care

• Any contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects can result in pulls or damages to the wool fabric.
• A lint brush may be used to gently pick up fluff and dust.

Jacket:

The K.Ritchie Riding Jacket is made from pure wool and as such should be strictly dry-cleaned only.

General care

• Keeping a clean saddle will prolong the life of your jacket as saddle residue and oil will stain fabric.
• After wear, your jacket should be left on a quality hanger for 24 hours to allow wrinkles to release.

Shirts and Stocks:

Machine wash K.Ritchie Shirts and Stocks inside out at 30° C using a mild detergent. Wash separately. Refrain from pouring washing detergent directly onto the garments or using abrasive scrubbing brushes. For best results, allow the shirt and stock to line dry in the shade. Use a cool iron setting.

Breeches:

Machine wash K.Ritchie Breeches inside out at 30° C using a mild detergent. Wash separately. Refrain from pouring washing detergent directly onto the breeches or using abrasive scrubbing brushes. For best results, allow the breeches to line dry in the shade.

General care

• Keeping a clean saddle will prolong the life of your breeches as saddle residue and oil will stain fabric and suede.
• Riding in a suede or synthetic saddle is not recommended.
• Ensure stirrup leathers are smooth and without abrasive stitching as this can rub against the breeches causing damage.
• Synthetic stirrup leathers will cause excess friction and are especially damaging to breeches fabrics and suedes.
• Take care when using chaps as the Velcro can attach to the breeches fabric causing pulls.
