Jackets should be laundered in cool water, no more than once every three months, since they seldom contact bare skin. Including tennis balls in the washing machine can prevent down and feathers from clustering, maintaining the jacket's structure.
Coats require special handling, particularly for stains. Always examine the care label for fabric type and washing directions. Many coats, especially those with sensitive materials, should be professionally cleaned to prevent damage.
