Caring for Your OCCO Pieces.
Our performance fabric is made to hold its shape through a full season of matches. A little care keeps it looking sharp for many more.
Every OCCO piece starts with the fabric: soft enough to forget you're wearing it, breathable enough for a Cape Town summer, and built to hold its shape wash after wash. Here's how to keep it that way. Always check the care label on your piece too.
Wash gently, at 30°C or below
Turn pieces inside out and wash them on a gentle cycle, at 30°C at most, with similar colours. Cooler water is kinder to stretch fibres and keeps colours crisp, especially navy and white trims.
No bleach, no fabric softener
Bleach breaks down stretch fibres, and softener can coat performance fabric and reduce how well it wicks moisture. A small amount of mild detergent is all it needs.
Dry on low
Heat is hard on stretch. Tumble dry on the lowest setting, or let pieces dry flat or on a hanger, out of direct sun.
Iron low, with a cloth
Most pieces won't need it, but if they do, use a low setting with a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Keep Velcro and zips apart
Close any zips and keep your OCCO pieces away from Velcro in the wash, so the smooth surface doesn't snag or pill.
