Washing & Finishing Steps

1. 1Sorting and lot matching: sort by style number, color number and dye lot difference, wash the same batch and same dye lot together to avoid color bleeding and color difference.
2. 2Rinsing to remove sizing and soil: warm water below 30℃ + neutral detergent, gently remove loose fibers and oil stains; yak down must avoid alkali and high temperature, never use alkaline or chlorine-containing auxiliaries.
3. 3Milling/raising finish: woolen yarn may be lightly milled or raised as needed to give a full downy surface and thick hand feel; then add a hydrophilic softener for a softening finish. Yak down felts easily, so milling time and temperature must be strictly controlled.
4. 4Dewatering and setting: low-speed dewatering, wringing strictly prohibited, pre-shape the garment while damp to prevent deformation.
5. 5Drying/tumble drying: low-temperature tumble drying or lay flat to dry in the shade to 80% dry; high temperature is strictly prohibited to avoid fiber hardening and damage to the downy surface.
6. 6Panel pressing: steam-press each garment panel once before sewing to remove curling and wrinkles; steam pressure should be medium-low.
7. 7Garment pressing: after sewing is completed, steam-press the whole garment once on a mannequin for setting; avoid prolonged direct pressing (which will flatten the downy surface).
8. 8Re-pressing and finishing: for easily wrinkled areas such as the neckline, placket, hem and cuffs, press once more if possible to ensure flatness.
9. 9Quality inspection and packaging: inspect dimensions, color difference, pilling, stains and pressing results; after passing inspection, bag the garment, and anti-moth treatment is recommended.
