Care & Maintenance

Bellucci Napoli garments are crafted with fine fabrics and yarns. It is generally recommended to pay the utmost care and attention to cleaning and maintenance, following the instructions provided, avoiding aggressive detergents and washing, to preserve the quality of the garments.

Suits, Jackets, Blazers, Coats, Trousers, Waistcoats: Professional dry cleaning is allowed with a delicate process. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C (212°F) without steam.

100% Cotton Shirts and Polo Shirts: Household washing by hand or machine (using a normal process at a maximum temperature of 30°C and low spin 400 rpm) is allowed. Do not bleach. Tumble drying (spin dryer) is allowed. Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C (212°F) without steam.

Make sure to remove the collar stays from the shirt before washing.

Whenever you can, brush your garment for 30 seconds with a natural bristled brush, proceeding slowly from top to bottom.

When not wearing the jacket, hang it on a shaped hanger — possibly made of cedar. The wood will shape the shoulder structure, absorb the moisture from the fabric, and keep away the moths.

Each garment should never be worn more than 2 or 3 times a week. A little "rest" lets the fibers breathe and helps to stretch the small crumpling accumulated during the day.

Use a garment bag to store your tailored garments on your business or leisure trips.

Wash before wearing the shirt for the first time and then immediately after each use. You will avoid premature yellowing of the fabric.

Before each wash, gently pre-treat the most exposed parts — such as cuffs and collar — with Marseille soap.

Once it's ironed, keep the shirt in the closet — possibly hanging, not to ruin the fold.

It is not to be excluded that after the first wash the fabric shrinks a little in a variable way from fabric to fabric. Follow the washing instructions carefully to minimize the shrinking.

Jacket: The full-canvassed structure — the canvas layer made of horsehair is hand-sewn and runs the entire length of the jacket, from the shoulders to the hem — allows the fabric to perfectly maintain the shape of the jacket. The shoulders are handmade (puckered Neapolitan shoulders) inserting an extra-small padding called "rollino" where the sleeve is attached. The "rollino" gives roundness to the shoulder and guarantees a greater structure to the upper part of the garment. Total or partial inner lining on request.

Blazer: Totally unstructured — without shoulder straps, taping, and inner lining — which makes the garment extremely comfortable. The "shirt-shoulders" (spalla a camicia), so called because they are made inserting the fabric of the sleeve below the shoulder, give the upper part of the blazer a more comfortable fit, able to follow the natural shape of the shoulders — a signature of Neapolitan Tailoring.
