To wash and dry a sherpa jacket correctly, turn it inside out before washing to protect the fabric. Use cold water and gentle, non-bleach detergent, setting your washing machine to a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric’s texture. Air drying is best for a sherpa jacket to prevent shrinkage and damage to the material. Lay it flat or hang it up to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. If you must use a dryer, choose a no-heat, air-fluff setting. Shake the jacket out after drying to fluff up the sherpa lining.
