The Gentleman's Guide to Laundering & Preserving Embroidered Attire

A finely crafted Panjabi is an investment in your personal style. Proper maintenance guarantees the fabric retains its sheen, crispness, and color saturation year after year.

1. Gentle Washing Routine

Hand wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral liquid detergent. Avoid harsh wringing or machine spin cycles to safeguard intricate placket stitching and metallic embroidery threads.

2. Steaming vs. Ironing

Garment steamers are ideal for removing wrinkles while preserving delicate embroidery fibers. If using a conventional iron, iron inside-out on medium heat with a damp pressing cloth between the garment and the iron plate.

3. Proper Wardrobe Storage

Never store your ethnic wear on wire hangers, which can cause shoulder dimples. Use wide wooden or padded hangers and breathable cotton garment bags away from direct humidity.
