Care Instructions

How to care for your Swims products:

All loafers and Tennis knit, Breeze Tennis, Penny, Braided Lace, Woven Driver, Terry, Knit Lace, Stride, Sporty Bit, Lace, Breeze Wave and Penny Wave, Women's Breeze Slip-on:

Swims loafers are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius, make sure to remove the innersoles, but wash them with the shoes. Put all in a wash bag. Feel free to use a normal detergent however, avoid any softener.
Let them air dry thoroughly.

All Nubuck boots, Chelsea, Helmut, Charles hybrid and George chukka:

Use a rubber eraser to remove any dirt or smudges. Use a soft brush or suede eraser to lightly clean the dust from the surface in one direction. Use a silicon spray or nubuck spray for dirty resistance. Air dry thoroughly.
Use rubber brush to rise the suede hairs if shiny spots occur.

Nylon shoes:

Jackets: Davos, Lausanne, Cortina, Verona, Val d'Isere, Zermatt, Zürich, Grenoble, Monza, Copenhagen, Mayfair, Brussels:

For optimal care, please consult the washing label on the product.

Swims jackets should be washed at 30°C. Don’t use fabric softener. Wash jacket inside out to protect outside water repellent treatment. If the garment has removable insulation liner, remove it and wash it separately.

Swims Jackets are treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating making light raindrops roll-off. For all garments with our regulator waterproof and breathable membrane the DWR, which is a surface coating, works as a supplement to the membrane which is on the inside of the fabric. Should you after prolonged usage or after washing the jacket want to restore the DWR effect we recommend applying a water repellency treatment for outdoor fabrics, available at your local outdoor retailer.

T-shirt, Hoodies, Polos, Sweaters and towels made of cotton:

We suggest machine wash at 30 degrees celsius. Do not tumble dry and warm iron and no dry clean.

All Swimwear:

Your shorts will last longer, looks nicer, and smell better when often cleaned.
Rinse from salt water after use. Wash at 40 degrees celsius. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry to keep water repellant. Use light powder detergents.

All Bags, Totes, Necessaire, Belt-bags, Backpacks, Attache and Cases:

We suggest wipe and rinse externally using a cloth and a non-chemical & non scratching detergent.
Consult dry-cleaner for proper cleaning.

Umbrellas:

Do not wash.

Flocking (white marks) on rubber boots and galoshes, Charlie, Dora and Classic galoshes:

Rubber is a natural material that can mark easily. But with the use of a silicone spray (that you can purchase in a shoe repair shop) and a soft dry cloth, you can polish your SWIMS rubber boots and galoshes. You can also use olive oil to remove flocking on rubber material.
