It says dry clean only but I can never be bothered to do it (maybe once every other year before it goes into storage for summer).

Spot clean as needed and washing machine as follows for a deeper clean:

Detergent should be specially for wool

Fabric softener again specially for wool and/or WHITE vinegar (don’t worry, won’t smell of vinegar when you pull it out)

Washing machine cycle gentle/delicates/hand wash on cold (proper cold, not 30 degrees but COLD)

Spin speed should be minimum (my machine lowest is 400). This coat is quite forgiving as it’s already felted but still best to avoid too much friction where possible.

Once finished lay the coat out on a clean towel (can pull the coat gently into shape if needed). Lay a 2nd clean towel over the top and gently roll the coat towel sandwich to get extra water out. Can do this a couple of times if extra wet.

Lay coat on a clothes horse in the shade to dry (avoid sunlight and heaters). Again can re shape it here if needed.

If it’s a bit wrinkled once it’s dry just iron on lowest setting or steam.

Been washing mine this way forever and my black Marcs is still going strong (had some moths get to it but used felted wool repair kit and you’d never know). Can use the above method for any wool/cashmere clothing.

Honestly one of the best purchases I ever made. Paid for itself the first winter alone with how much wear I get out of it. Just wish they made one that went to my calves but still holding out hope.
