I hope it works out. </p> <p>This is not uncommon - that the wrong labels are sewn into the wrong garments. It passed quality control somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-gap-piped-blazer-dry-clean#post-693483 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:10:37 +0000 texstyle 693483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I called the Gap Product Information Specialists and they were not sure. She put me on hold and called a store to have them check a few tags. She said for whatever reason the Fushia blazers were showing "Machine Wash" but the Gray and Navy were showing "Dry Clean Only." They are all made of the same materials. </p> <p>I think I will give it a go as Angie mentioned she has done with other similar items. I'm sure the lining will require some ironing work but I'll have to see how it goes. I DO love how the blazer feels on (comfy, a bit stretchy) and I got it at 30% off.</p> <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-gap-piped-blazer-dry-clean#post-693046 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:46:15 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 693046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's strange...my piped ponte GAP blazer says machine wash, DO NOT dry clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-gap-piped-blazer-dry-clean#post-692982 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 22:38:32 +0000 Angie 692982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure, Tex. I did not look at the wash care label in stores. </p> <p>That said, the blazer does look machine washable to me. On DELICATES and with cold water. No tumble drying. Iron afterwards. </p> <p>My citron blazer is fully lined and the care label says machine washable. And I do just that! In cold water on the hand-wash machine cycle. I air dry and iron. Actually, it's MUCH easier for me to drop this off at the cleaners. But I am doing my bit for the environment with this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-gap-piped-blazer-dry-clean#post-692928 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 21:13:37 +0000 texstyle 692928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm confused about the Gap ponte knit piped blazer. I ordered it because it said "machine washable" on the web site and others mentioned that too. I received mine today and the tag says "Dry Clean Only". I have another one in another size coming and now I'm thinking they both will have to go back. Oh, and I love the way it looks on -- but dry clean is not an option for my lifestyle. Major disappointment. </p>
