Logbook FW2018/19
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” This is true, but let’s be real, running a company is not easy. It requires 100% of your time and energy, a positive mind to face the fears of the unknown and the thousands of daily problems that a start-up will face. It takes all of you. It takes passion. When you do what you love, you can’t go wrong. Enthusiasm is contagious. We are creating a family around Old Captain - a group of passionate friends, clients, fans and retailers that understand what this start-up is all about. It’s about exclusivity, top quality, sustainability, uniqueness, style, loyalty, respect and love. Old Captain Co. is growing healthy and strong, we will always continue to improve and we couldn’t not love it more.
Old Captain Co. Fall Winter 2018/2019
Founded in 2016 by entrepreneur, musician, radio DJ and skateboarder Yari Copt, Old Captain Co. is a Lugano based manufacturer of premium Swiss Made dress shirts and apparel for active and creative people. Music, art, and sport have allowed Yari to wander the world and ultimately inspired him to create a brand that encompasses the influence of these passions. Old Captain Co. develops their shirts in a small factory in the south of Switzerland where expert hands take care of the production build on the foundation of Swiss Made: highquality, luxury, exclusivity and tradition. The and and the
clean and classic brand aesthetic, the distinctive details unique style, the quest to source the world’s best fabrics, the craftsmanship used to create high quality products, is foundation and inspiration behind Old Captain Co.
We always make decisions for the long term based on quality and integrity and we are accountable for our impact on the environment, people and communities that orbit around us. That’s why we only produce what we sell, and everything is made in 1 hour territory from our home base. Old Captain is a metaphor for taking your life into your own hands, being courageous, discovering, following your instincts, working hard, creating and not being afraid to fail. We want to inspire people to travel, learn and open their mind. Our upside down anchor is a symbol of freedom - to not be anchored down to this world, to a place or to what your life is supposed to be. If you dare to be courageous, follow your instincts, explore, enjoy the small things, inspire and be inspired, then you will need no ship or no sea, to conquer the world. So go out there, become your own captain, wander the world and if you can, make it a little bit better.

How to care If you take proper care of your new favourite shirt, then it can last many years, even if nothing lasts for ever. Read our good advice to extend the lifespan of your shirts. This information covers cotton shirts. Other quality fabrics may require other treatments.
Before washing
Ironing
Undo all buttons, empty any pockets and remove the collar bones. Turn the shirt inside out. Read the shirt’s washing instruction label.
1. Place the collar flat. Iron the collar’s underside (the reverse side), from the collar edge to the middle, while also stretching the top seam.
After washing
2. Iron the upper side (the face side) in the same way.
It is preferable to let the shirt drip dry, without spin drying. Gently stretch the shirt’s seams and place on a hanger.
3. Iron the shoulder yoke; the inside first and then the outside. 4. Iron the cuffs; the inside first and then the outside. 5. Iron the arms in the same way. 6. Place the shirt flat with the front pieces together. Iron the side seams first, then the front pieces. 7. Turn the shirt inside out and iron the back of the shirt.
Storage Hang or fold the shirt after washing and ironing. It is best to store the shirt on a hanger with the collar button done up. If the shirt is to be stored folded, then do up all the buttons.
