FAQ

Do your Feather Cloth shirts stop mosquito bites? Our personal experience is that mosquitoes cannot bite you through our Feather Cloth, but that isn’t going to stop mosquitoes from getting to you through the open neck or the cuffs of your Feather Cloth shirt. Will your Feather Cloth fabric protect me from UVA and UVB radiation? This is a question that some fishermen ask when considering a purchase, so we tested our Feather Cloth fabric for its Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF). UPF is a rating for apparel, similar to Sun Protection Factor (SPF) for sunscreen. UPF measures the ability of a garment to block harmful UVA (Ultraviolet "Aging") and UVB (Ultraviolet "Burning") rays. We found that the UPF varies, depending on the color. Desert Tan has a UPF 15 rating Olive Green has a 50+ UPF rating – the maximum rating possible. How does Feather Cloth look after it has been washed? Do I need to iron it? Since it is made from 100% cotton, you may need to iron your Feather Cloth shirt after washing. Feather Cloth is such a lightweight cotton that it does wrinkle easily. On the other hand, it air dries very quickly.

Care

How do I clean and care for Genuine Bridle Leather wallets and leather accessories? Clean by hand washing with a soft rag and warm water. Wash the entire area evenly, not just the soiled spot, and dry thoroughly. Minimize scuffs or bruises by rubbing the area with a soft, dry cloth, bringing the natural oils to the surface. Saddle soaps or commercial leather cleaners are not recommended because while they should not harm the leather, they often contain wax or oil that can darken the leather or cause it to permanently show water spots.
