What is normal wear and tear?

No matter how well you take care of our gear, nothing lasts forever. Clothing worn and washed regularly will eventually degrade and no longer perform as designed. Signs of aging such as fading fabric, frayed cuffs and collar, stains and stench, should be carefully considered when evaluating applicability for warranty. We do our best to avoid the need for replacement, but eventually, that time does come.

What isn't covered by our warranty?

Improper care is not covered by our warranty. Upon your purchase, consult our Washing & Care instructions. These instructions can be found on each product page and on the tag of each garment.
