How to Care for Your Polyester Jacket and Make It Last

Love Your Jacket Longer

You've found the perfect EMRA jacket — now let's make sure it stays looking brand new for seasons to come. Caring for a 100% polyester jacket is surprisingly simple, and with these easy tips, your outerwear will stay in top condition year after year.

Washing Your Polyester Jacket

Always check the care label first, but in general, polyester jackets do best with a cold or warm machine wash on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can break down the fibres over time. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and any decorative details.

Drying Tips

Polyester dries quickly, so air drying is your best option. Hang your jacket on a wide-shouldered hanger in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If you use a dryer, choose a low heat setting to prevent any warping or shrinkage.

Caring for Faux Fur Trim

For jackets with faux fur trim like our Ladies Jacket with Hoodie & Fur, handle the fur area gently. After washing, gently brush the fur with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore its fluffiness. Avoid wringing or twisting the fur sections.

Storing Your Jacket

When the season ends, store your jacket in a breathable garment bag rather than a plastic cover. Hang it upright on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid compressing it under heavy items, which can flatten the fabric and distort the silhouette.

Removing Stains Quickly

Act fast on stains! Blot (don't rub) any spills immediately with a clean cloth. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent directly to the area and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing. Polyester is relatively stain-resistant, so most marks come out easily with prompt attention.

Keeping Colours Vibrant

To keep bold colours like our Red, Sky Blue, and Yellow jackets looking vivid, always wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying. This prevents fading and keeps your jacket looking freshly bought.

With a little love and the right care routine, your EMRA jacket will remain a wardrobe hero for many seasons. Shop our full collection and invest in quality outerwear that lasts.
