INSTOCK INSTRUCTIONS
Care Guide
INSTOCK stockings are a premium item, and we strive to provide a premium experience. While our tights are crafted from high quality Italian yarn, the nature of woven hosiery is extremely delicate. Please follow our INSTOCK INSTRUCTIONS — your 5 part skinwear routine — to get the most from your pieces.
Prep
When handling your skinwear, ensure your nails are smooth and all jewellery is kept clear. Avoid any heavy creams or oils prior to pulling your tights on, as they can affect the longevity of the elastic.
Prime
Take a seat and gather your tights. Holding them from the waistband, gently gather each leg, keeping your thumbs inside until you reach the toe of your stockings. Slide one foot into your skinwear, keeping your toes pointed, up to your knees and follow with the other foot.
Apply
Gently pull your tights up your leg, while still keeping your thumbs inside your tights to avoid snagging. If you have long nails, avoid curling your thumbs inward when pulling them on, which can puncture the delicate mesh of the hosiery.
Perfect
Once your tights are positioned, gently adjust the waistband, seams and toe placement. Smooth the fabric upward using flat hands rather than pulling from one point, helping the yarn settle evenly against the skin.
Preserve
After wear, hand wash your tights in cool water with a gentle detergent. Do not tumble dry, bleach or iron. Lay flat to dry and store carefully away from jewellery, zippers and rough surfaces.
Treat your skinwear with care, and it will return the favour. Delicate handling, gentle washing and thoughtful storage will help preserve the feel, fit and finish of your INSTOCK pieces.
