Deerhunter designs apparel with specific performance features - from quiet fabrics to water-resistant materials. To help your clothing maintain those properties for as long as possible, you should follow the brand’s recommended care procedures.
Below we break down smart, practical care routines for Deerhunter clothing, based on their own recommendations.
Washing Only When Necessary
Instead of putting clothes through the washing machine every time they get a mark, Deerhunter says that a damp cloth can often do the job. This is especially true for leatherwear and rainwear, where dirt and marks can be simply wiped off. Cleaning garments this way helps protect the environment and keeps your clothing ready for your next outing without unnecessary washing.
Treating Blood Stains
For blood stains, Deerhunter recommends using cold water to rinse or soak the affected area. Hot water can set the stain, making it much harder to remove. Gently rub the fabric to lift the stain before washing as usual if needed. This method preserves the fabric while effectively removing blood marks.
Follow the Care Labels
Each Deerhunter garment includes washing symbols on its label, which indicate the correct way to wash and dry the item. Following these instructions ensures your clothing retains its technical qualities and appearance over time.
Drying According to Fabric
- The correct drying method varies by material:
For fabrics like velvet, corduroy, terry cloth, and similar textiles, tumble drying is recommended - it helps the fibres stand up and keeps the surface looking good.
- If a garment cannot be tumble dried, then hang it to dry instead.
- To reduce the risk of shrinkage or other changes in shape, gently stretch the item before it dries.
Always check the garment’s care label for the correct drying method.
By following these care steps from Deerhunter, including proper treatment for blood stains, your clothing will remain durable and perform reliably for many hunting seasons.
NOTE: These tips are general advice only - every piece of clothing is a bit different. ArdMoor can’t take responsibility for any mishaps, so always patch-test products first and follow Deerhunter's own care guidance where you can.
