Why I Love How Easy My Hector & George Coat Is to Look After

One of the nicest comments we've received recently wasn't about how warm our coats are, or how well they keep the rain out.

It was much simpler than that.

One of our early customers, Fiona, told us:

"When it needs it, I just pop it in the washing machine and it comes out looking as good as new."

We smiled because that's exactly how we hoped people would use their Hector & George coat.

Life outdoors is messy. Muddy dog walks, wet rugby touchlines, horse yards, woodland paths and rainy afternoons all leave their mark. Your coat is there to be used, not wrapped in cotton wool.

Fortunately, looking after it couldn't be easier.

When it needs freshening up, simply follow the care instructions and wash it in the machine. Once it's clean and dry, it's ready for the next adventure.

It's one of those little things that owners often tell us they appreciate. They don't have to worry about complicated cleaning routines or expensive specialist care. They just wear the coat, enjoy it and, when necessary, give it a wash.

Whether you've spent the morning walking the dog through muddy fields, standing on the touchline, working around the stables or simply caught in another British downpour, it's reassuring to know your coat is just as easy to care for as it is to wear.

For us, that's exactly how outdoor clothing should be.

Made to be worn.
Made to be enjoyed.
Made to be used in all weathers.

And if Fiona's experience is anything to go by, it'll be ready to do it all again afterwards.
