How to wash a sports jacket according to its care label
01
Prepare
02
Read the temperature
03
Choose the spin
04
Plan drying
A beautiful mid-season jacket can accompany journeys and the time after class. Its care depends on composition, lining and finishes.
Before the first wash, read the label and model-specific instructions. They take priority over a general routine, including for a jacket described as technical.
This guide helps you prepare pockets, fastenings and drying around those instructions.
01
Start with the jacket’s care instructions
The presence of polyamide or elastane is not enough to choose a programme. Also consider the lining, finishes and care symbols.
Fibre names, such as elastane, provide composition information; the model’s care instructions remain the reference for washing the jacket.
02
Four preparation steps if machine washing is allowed
First confirm on the label that the jacket can be machine washed, then prepare these four points.
PREPARATION
Step 1: Preparing the jacket
Before washing, examine the jacket and guidance for its fastenings:
TEMPERATURE
Step 2: Choosing the temperature and program
The programme and temperature should match the model’s instructions.
DETERGENT
Step 3: Choose and dose care products
SPIN
Step 4: Gentle spinning
Choose the spin speed permitted by the jacket’s instructions and your machine’s settings, without applying a universal limit.
03
Drying: the crucial step to preserve the cut
Once the cycle is complete, immediately remove your jacket from the drum to prevent creases from setting.
Machine drying
Before using a tumble dryer, check the care symbol. The presence of elastane alone is not enough to select a drying method or temperature.
The drying method indicated for the model
Follow the indicated drying method, on a hanger or flat according to the model. Check the lining, pockets and thicker areas before storing it. Drying time varies with conditions; do not plan to wear it again at a fixed time after washing.
04
Care for your GALAYA jacket according to the model
For your mid-season jacket, keep the label and associated instructions as your reference. A collection name or finish does not replace that information.
After washing, observe the collar, sleeves and fastenings. If a detail has changed, use the available instructions to plan the next wash and ask for guidance for that model.

Store a clean, dry jacket
Before storing your mid-season jacket, check that it is dry, including inside pockets and along fastenings.
Choose storage compatible with the cut and instructions. Keep a photo of the care label if it helps you prepare the next wash.

Jacket care starts with reading the label. Programme, products, spin and drying depend on the model. Pockets, zips and lining deserve attention at each stage.
