Size & Care Guide

Gender Neutral Sizing

Unisex sizing in Jouten terry basics runs relaxed and comfortably oversized. Consider choosing the size you would usually select, as repurposed 100% cotton towels are non-stretch material. In our opinion, Jouten clothing fits best when it's nice and spacious. That way, you'll have enough room to play and lounge around.

Jouten clothing comes in well-sized Small, Medium, and Large. Detailed measurements of each garment are found in the size guide under each product description here in our online store. Prepare your measuring tape and click the link to the size guide under the product information of each item.

Care & Laundry

Terry Items (100% repurposed cotton towels)

Careful sorting before mindful washing – We recommend washing your terry product first separately from another laundry. We kindly remind you to always wash your Jouten with similar colored laundry in the future. Follow the washing instructions on the care label to ensure your Jouten a long-lived joyous life.

Gentle softening in every wash – The terry cloth used in your new Jouten piece behaves like any other towel fabric. Taking good care of it will keep it soft use after use. Add a bit of natural fabric softener with each wash, or consider clear spirit vinegar as an ecological option for fabric softener to keep it soft. Remember to make sure that the softener also fits the other garments you’re washing simultaneously.

Thorough fluffing for ultimate softness – After washing, tumble dry your Jouten at a low temperature to make it nice and fluffy. If you don’t have access to a tumble dryer, we recommend shaking the garment well for the terry fibers to settle nicely. As terry cloth absorbs moisture well, the garment might appear heavy after washing. If you dry your Jouten without a tumbler, we suggest drying it flat over a rack to avoid stretching the fabric.

Bed Linen Items (100% repurposed cotton beddings and bed sheets)

Careful sorting before mindful washing – Same here, we kindly remind you to always wash your Joutens with similar colored laundry in the future. Follow the washing instructions on the care label to ensure your Jouten a long-lived joyous life.

Gentle ironing for a clean slate – We recommend that you iron your bed linen item after wash at the instructed temperature. Lightweight 100% woven cotton textiles such as bed sheets tend to come out of the wash slightly wrinkled, so ironing will give them a refreshed, clean look.
