Shirt Care

Caring For Your Shirt

Your Jonathan Mezibov shirt is made from high-quality cotton and will last for many years if cared for properly. Follow the guidelines below when laundering to keep your shirt looking new.

General Guidelines:

Home Laundering

• Always follow the care instructions for each shirt

• Before washing, undo all the buttons to lessen strain on the stitches

• Be sure to remove any collar stays to maintain the integrity of the collar

• Turn the shirt inside out to protect the Mother-of-Pearl buttons and and allow the detergent to better access any underarm stains

• Wash with similar colors in cold water on gentle cycle

• Dry the shirt on a hanger and lightly stretch and smooth the collar, cuffs and front placket with your hands

• Your shirt may also be tumble dried on low

• A light iron may be desired 

Dry Cleaners 

If you send your shirts out to be cleaned, remove any collar stays and ask if "hand laundering" is available. This service will protect your shirt from the harsher treatment and higher heat often associated with commercial laundering. In addition, ask your cleaners for a light press and no starch. Alternatively, your shirt can be dry cleaned.

Shrinkage

Since Jonathan Mezibov uses only high-quality cotton, your shirt will shrink slightly during its first few washes. However, there is no need to purchase a larger size to allow for fabric shrinkage. We have already taken shrinkage into consideration in the design of our shirts. For this reason, the actual collar measurement on a new Jonathan Mezibov shirt will be up to 1/2" larger and the sleeves up to 3/4" longer than the sizes stated in the Size Charts. As a result, you can feel confident ordering your normal shirt size.
