|
Do
Valmary shirts require specific care ? |
| |
INo,
Valmary shirts do not require different or specific
care. We recommend that you follow the washing instructions
which are sewn into the hem of your shirt. We have
selected machine washable fabrics. To lengthen your
shirt's life, we advise you not to compact clothes
into your washing machine and to dry them on a hanger
or the back of a chair. Even though tumble drying
is authorised, we recommend avoiding using one if
possible. If you do wish to use a tumble dryer,
take care to flatten out creases after removal from
the washing machine so that it does not dry with
creases or folds. This makes ironing easier. |
| |
|
Does
"easy ironing" mean not having to iron at all ? |
| |
IEasy
iron or easy care materials have been especially
treated to ease ironing. In spite of numerous tests
of so-called "no-iron" fabrics, we do not know of
any that maintain the supple qualities of cotton
without requiring ironing after washing. We have
therefore opted to favour fabrics that are pleasant
to wear and which respect our high standards of
comfort and style. |
| |
|
Where
are your fabrics from ? |
| |
IThe
fabrics we use are purchased from the most renowned
weavers in Italy, France and Great Britain. |
| |
|
How
can stains be treated ? |
| |
IAs
soon as a stain appears, try to blot it (do not
rub) with a tissue or absorbent paper. Do not
let the stain dry.
IBall
point pen : blot the stain with methylated spirits
and wash your shirt.
IEgg
yellow : do not wait for the egg yellow to dry.
Wash your shirt after washing the stain with warm
soapy water.
IEgg
white : can be removed with cold water.
IGrease
stains : stain remover is ideal.
ICoffee:
the most common cause of stains ! ! ! Quickly
apply soap and wash. Do not let it dry.
IFruit
: these stains, even though particularly difficult
to remove, can be removed with cold water.if you
act quickly.
IBlood
: Blood stains can be removed relatively easily
with cold or warm water. Do not use hot water
as this fixes the stain ! ! ! Older stains come
out after washing if a sufficiently powerful detergent
is used.

| |
|
How
can I buy cloth covers for my shirts ? |
| |
IYou
can order shirt covers directly from the site. In
the accessories section |
| |
|
Where

| THE
SECURITY |
| |
|
Is
payment by credit card on internet safe ? |
| |
IAs
soon as the time comes to give your credit card
number, the site is automatically secured. You
can verify that it is secured either by looking
at your navigator, the http:// changes to https://,
or to the key on the screen which becomes complete
or the padlock which is closed, depending on the
type of navigator. These are displayed in a little
window at the bottom of your screen.
ISecuring
payment on a site means encrypting information
so that only you and us may read it.
IWe
have opted for the SSL system (Secure Sockets
Layer).
ICommunicating
encrypted information on-line is as secure as
transmitting by telephone or fax.
IMoreover,
for maximum security, once your card number has
been registered, it is removed from our computer
data base.
|
| |
|
Do
I need a specific navigator to use the site ? |
| |
IIt
is necessary to use version 4 or later of Netscape
or Explorer to access the secure payment section.
If you have an earlier version, you may pay by fax
or by a non-secured payment system. |

AND PACKAGING |

An individual mousse cover protects the shirt in
the box. Made to measure shirts are delivered in
a beautiful individual cloth cover. If you would
