FAQs
What occasions is the TruClothing Blazer suitable for?
This blazer is highly versatile, perfect for both smart casual events like brunches or informal gatherings, and more formal occasions such as business meetings, dinners, or semi-formal parties.
How should I care for the wool herringbone tweed fabric?
To maintain its quality and shape, dry cleaning is strongly recommended. For minor spots, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild wool-specific detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Is this blazer true to size, or should I order a different size?
The blazer features a slim, tailored fit. For a more regular or comfortable fit, it is recommended to select one size larger than your usual UK dress size.
Are matching waistcoat and trousers available for this blazer?
Yes, matching waistcoat and trousers are available from TruClothing and are sold separately, allowing you to create a complete 1920s-inspired suit.
What is the primary material of the blazer?
The blazer is made from a high-quality vintage herringbone tweed wool textured fabric.
Does the blazer have special detailing?
Yes, it features a Turn Down Collar, a single-button closure, contrasting detailing, and stylish elbow patches, all contributing to its unique vintage aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Blazer appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the blazer in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a garment steamer. For more stubborn wrinkles, iron on a low, wool-specific setting with a pressing cloth.
Fabric feels slightly stiff or loses its softness over time.
This is often a natural characteristic of wool after prolonged wear or improper cleaning. Professional dry cleaning can often help restore the fabric's original texture and drape.
Button becomes loose or falls off.
Carefully re-sew the button back onto the blazer using strong thread that matches the original. Ensure the stitching is secure to prevent future detachment.
Small snags or loose threads appear on the tweed fabric.
Do not pull loose threads. Instead, carefully trim them with sharp scissors close to the fabric surface. For snags, gently push the loop back into the fabric with a fine needle from the inside.

Care Instructions
To preserve the quality, shape, and appearance of your wool herringbone tweed blazer, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to its wool composition and tailored structure, dry cleaning is highly recommended for this blazer. This method will best maintain the fabric's integrity, color, and the garment's shape. For minor spots, *gently dab* with a clean, damp cloth using a mild wool-specific detergent. *Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry*, as this can cause shrinkage, distortion, or damage to the fabric and lining.
- Storage: Store your blazer on a wide, padded hanger to help maintain its tailored shape and prevent shoulder indentations. Avoid using thin wire hangers. Ensure it's stored in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or excessive moisture, and not in an overly cramped wardrobe, which can cause creasing.
- Wrinkle Removal: For light wrinkles, hang the blazer in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a garment steamer. If ironing is necessary, use a *low, wool-appropriate temperature setting* and always place a clean pressing cloth between the iron and the blazer fabric to prevent scorching or glazing.
- Refreshing: Between wears, lightly brush the blazer with a soft garment brush to remove surface dust and lint, helping to restore the nap of the wool fabric.
