Storing your Widgeon fleece coat:

1. Wash the coat first. Follow the intructions on the tag of your Widgeon coat before washing. Or click here to view our care instructions for your widgeon coat.
2. Before you wash the coat, clean the pockets - Your kids keep lot's of things in their pockets, that may not belong in pockets. Clean them out and then turn them inside out and shake them.
3. The widgeon fleece coats can be hung on a hanger. If you decided to do this be sure that the coat is hung in a way that it won't become mis-shapen. I highly recommend a padded hanger as opposed to a plastic or wooden hanger.
4. I would highly recommend storing your widgeon coat in a plastic containter if you have the room. Plastic is better than cardboard, just make sure the container is well cleaned before you seal in your Widgeon fleece coat for the winter.
5. Mothballs vs. Cedar blocks - Both are great, keep in mind mothballs are not good to have around children. They could eat them and become sick or worse! I would recommend cedar blocks. They do a great job at preventing, pests, mildew and odor. Keep in mind they are not guaranteed to prevent against these things though.
6. Regardless of the method you choose for storage hanging vs. storage container. Be sure the location you store your widgeon coat is dark, dry and cool.
7. You are good until next season! Now it's time to unpacke the spring and summer clothes :-) .

Storing your Widgeon faux fur coat:

1. I recommend following all of the above instructions for storing your faux fur Widgeon coat with one exception.
2. I highly recommend you hang your faux fur widgeon coat instead of sealing it in a plastic containger.
3. Be sure to use a padded hanger vs. a wooden or plastic hanger and choose a hanger that won't leave the coat mis-shapen when you go to retreive it from storage.
4. Do not wrap the coat in plastic or a storage bag. Just like a real fur caot, your Widgeon faux fur also needs to breathe.
