Motor Wheels' golden rule: A garment with character doesn't wear out, it develops a patina. To preserve this soul, the secret is simple: Wash less, wash better.

1. Leather (Jackets & Coats)

Leather is a living material. It needs to breathe and stay hydrated to prevent cracking.

  • 1. Daily care: Never store it on a thin hanger that distorts the shoulders. Use a wide hanger.
  • 2. Cleaning: A damp sponge is sufficient for dusting. Never use harsh chemicals.
  • 3. Annual care: Once a year, apply a colorless nourishing balm. Let it penetrate for 24 hours, then buff with a soft cloth.
  • 4. Rain alert: If it gets wet, let it dry naturally on a hanger, away from any heat source (radiator, direct sunlight).

2. Selvedge Denim & Trousers

A good pair of jeans tells the story of your miles. Don't ruin its patina with too many washes.

  • 1. The first wash: Wait as long as possible (several months if you can) to allow the creases to mold to your body.
  • 2. The gentle method: Wash inside out, at a maximum of 30°C, with a low spin speed.
  • 3. Drying: Tumble drying is forbidden. Hang it by the ankles to maintain its shape.
  • 4. Odor-fighting tip: A night in the freezer in an airtight bag kills bacteria without damaging the fibers!

3. T-shirts & Sweatshirts

Our cottons are robust, but they prefer cooler temperatures.

  • 1. Temperature: 30°C is the ideal temperature. This preserves the fibers and screen prints.
  • 2. Inside out: Always wash your t-shirts inside out to protect the "Kustom Kulture" designs.
  • 3. Ironing: Always iron inside out. Never iron directly on a print.

4. Caps & Accessories

  • 1. Caps: Never machine wash (risk of deforming the visor). Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a little Marseille soap.
  • 2. Neck warmers: Hand washing is recommended to maintain elasticity.
