How do I care for my Oceanweed gear?

To ensure your Oceanweed clothing lasts as long as possible, please follow the following instructions.

Washing instructions

• Always turn your garment inside out.
• Hand or machine wash in cold water.
• Use only standard detergent.
• Use gentle wash settings.
• Do not wash with a heavy or fully loaded machine. We recommend you wash your clothing individually or with a light load.

Ironing instructions

• Ironing directly over any decorated area is not recommended as it will damage the print.
• To iron the garment, please first turn it inside out.
• Use a cotton cloth over the print while ironing if necessary. Ensure the iron temperature isn't too hot as this could cause the cloth to stick to the print.
• Do not dry clean.

Caution: do not use the following

• Hot water
• Concentrate detergent
• Bleach products

Where is your clothing sourced? Is it ethical?

Our clothing is sourced from Bangladesh and China by a supplier who hand-picks production facilities which have safe, fair, legal and humane working conditions.

This supplier takes a number of steps to ensure clothing production is fair and ethical, including:

• establishing a clear Code of Conduct and expecting every factory to comply with the Code;
• being very selective in the selection of partner factories;
• making regular factory visits to assess Code of Conduct compliance and working conditions;
• partnering with factories where the supplier is the primary source of business for the factory, so that the supplier can better influence ethical production;
• joining the Amfori BSCI initiative, a supply chain management system that supports companies to drive social compliance and improvements within the factories and farms in their global supply chains;
• expecting transparency of production from factories and taking a zero-tolerance approach to sub-contracting;
• rewarding factories which show the highest engagement; and,
• dropping ties with factories which do not meet the ethical standards set by the supplier

Screen printing is then performed in Australia before the final products are shipped to Tasmania.
