Learn the best practices for washing and caring for your Orvis clothing, from technical shirts to cozy hoodies, to keep them looking great and lasting longer.

Investing in quality clothing means you want it to last, and proper care is the key to longevity. At Orvis, we design our apparel to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures, but even the toughest fabrics need a little TLC. Whether you're heading out for a day on the river or simply want to keep your favorite pieces looking sharp, understanding how to clean and maintain your Orvis clothing is essential.

This guide covers the best practices for washing, drying, and storing your Orvis hoodies, shirts, and pants. From technical fabrics that require special attention to everyday cotton that needs simple care, we'll walk you through the steps to keep your gear in prime condition for years to come.

General Care Tips for All Orvis Apparel

Before you toss your clothing into the washing machine, always check the care label. Each garment has specific instructions based on its fabric blend and construction. However, there are some universal rules to follow: turn garments inside out to protect the outer surface, use cold water to prevent shrinking and fading, and avoid harsh detergents that can break down fibers.

For most Orvis apparel, a gentle cycle with a mild detergent is sufficient. If you're dealing with stubborn stains, pre-treat them with a stain remover before washing. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage technical fabrics and reduce their performance. When it comes to drying, air drying is always the safest option, but if you must use a dryer, opt for a low heat setting.

  • Always check the care label first.
  • Turn garments inside out before washing.
  • Use cold water and mild detergent.
  • Air dry whenever possible.

How to Clean Your Orvis Hoodies

Hoodies are a staple in any outdoor wardrobe, and our Men’s Drift Recycled Hoodie is a favorite for its comfort and sustainability. To keep it looking fresh, wash it inside out with similar colors and avoid high heat. The recycled polyester blend is durable, but excessive heat can cause pilling and distort the shape.

For the hoodie's drawstrings, tie them loosely before washing to prevent them from pulling out. If you have stubborn stains on the cuffs or hem, spot clean with a gentle detergent before the full wash. After washing, reshape the hoodie while damp and lay it flat to dry to maintain its structure.

  • Wash inside out with similar colors.
  • Tie drawstrings to prevent tangling.
  • Lay flat to dry to maintain shape.

Washing and Caring for Your Orvis Shirts

Shirts, whether they're for work or play, require a bit more attention. The Women's River Guide Short-Sleeve Shirt is designed for durability and comfort, but to keep it performing at its best, follow these steps. Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent, and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. The quick-dry fabric benefits from air drying, but a low tumble dry is acceptable if needed.

For button-down shirts, like the Hemp/TENCEL Short-Sleeve Shirt, it's best to button all buttons before washing to prevent snagging. Hemp and TENCEL are natural fibers that are gentle on the skin but can be sensitive to high heat. Always wash in cold water and hang to dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric's breathability.

  • Button all buttons before washing to prevent snagging.
  • Use cold water and mild detergent.
  • Hang to dry to prevent shrinkage.

Maintaining Your Orvis Pants

Pants endure a lot of wear, from hiking trails to everyday commutes. Our 5-Pocket Stretch Twill Pants are built for movement, but they need proper care to retain their shape and color. Turn them inside out and wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the stretch fibers.

For tougher stains, pre-treat with a stain remover before washing. When drying, hang them or lay them flat to avoid shrinking and to preserve the fit. If you need to iron, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any technical coatings.

  • Turn pants inside out to protect the fabric.
  • Avoid fabric softeners to preserve stretch.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry.

Proper care not only extends the life of your Orvis clothing but also ensures you look and feel your best on every adventure. By following these simple tips, you can keep your favorite pieces in top condition. For more guidance, explore our full range of apparel and accessories to find gear that's built to last.
