Quick answer
Hand wash your Sevijn cashmere wool trousers in cool water with a gentle wool detergent, then lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or machine washing to preserve the fine fibers.
Why cashmere wool needs special care
Cashmere wool is a delicate natural fiber that can shrink, stretch, or pill if treated like regular cotton. The Sevijn trousers are made from fine cashmere wool, so they require gentle handling to maintain their softness and shape. Skipping the care steps can lead to irreversible damage.
Step-by-step care guide
- Prepare the wash: Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water (below 30°C) and add a small amount of gentle wool detergent. Avoid fabric softener or bleach as they can damage cashmere fibers. Hot water causes shrinkage — always use cool water.
- Hand wash gently: Submerge the trousers and gently swish them in the water. Do not rub, scrub, or twist the fabric. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes, then rinse with cool water until no soap remains. Never wring or twist — press water out gently instead.
- Remove excess water: Lay the trousers on a clean, dry towel and roll the towel up to absorb moisture. Press lightly — do not squeeze or twist the fabric. Rolling in a towel is safer than any machine spin cycle.
- Dry flat: Unroll the towel and reshape the trousers to their original dimensions. Lay them flat on a drying rack or a fresh towel away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not hang them, as gravity can stretch the wet fibers. Hanging wet cashmere causes stretching — always dry flat.
- Store properly: Once fully dry, fold the trousers and store them in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods. Use a breathable garment bag if storing for the season. Moth protection: add cedar blocks or lavender sachets to the storage area.
