Care & safety Instructions for all Old Time Design Company products currently available to purchase via our website, excluding original items.

Badges

All badges are made in UK using 100% cotton, felt and wool. Printed badges use a water based ink. Some badges have backing fabric, this is applied using low heat activated glue. Do not consume.

Wool Garments

For best results, we would recommend only dry cleaning OTD Berets.

Our Knitwear can be hand washed at home on a cool 30 degrees celsius.

There are some great eco-friendly wool detergents available online, but be sure not to rub the garment (to avoid bobbling).

Cold rinse the garments and avoid wringing.

Drying your wool jumper is just as important as washing it properly; do not
tumble dry, and try to dry it flat (if you do hang from a washing line,
do so from the bottom of the hem) and avoid direct heat and sunlight.

To iron, use a warm setting.

Cotton Garments

For the most eco-friendly results, we would recommend washing at 30 degrees celsius.

Always wash colours seperately. For best results, turn garments inside out before washing and drying and reshape while damp.

Drying your cotton garments are just as important as washing; do not tumble dry and avoid direct heat and sunlight.

To iron, use a warm setting. Any decorations on garments should be ironed on the reverse side or avoided.

Leather Garments

Organic materials like leather and suede can degrade over time if they aren’t properly protected from the elements.

To keep the leather in the best condition we recommend cleaning with a
damp cloth. Rub the material carefully to remove dust, dirt and the appearance of small marks. Once the product is cleaned, dry with a cloth.

It is important to avoid using a harsh chemicals to keep the leather strong and prevent cracking. Boot polish and dubbin are the best for your items, but be mindful that polish can change the colour of the leather.

To keep the soles clean and to avoid stains over time we advise cleaning the soles with a damp cloth using warm water and low-chemical soap or cleaning product. Avoid the upper shoe when cleaning the sole. Remove dirt and debris from the sole on a regular
basis and avoid any strong or industrial chemicals as they can weaken
the sole. Dubbin is a good water-proofer and will stop leathers soles
from cracking.

Stencils

Application instructions are included with all stencils. These are designed as one use. Made using self adhesive vinyl, with silicone backing sheet. Applied with paper application tape with water based adhesive. Do not consume.

Please note, these are guidelines only and
