What is Estate-Rib fabric?
Estate-Rib fabric is a lightweight, velvety cotton material used by Polo Ralph Lauren, known for its exceptionally soft texture.
What material is the vest padding made of?
The padding is made from 100% polyester, with a portion of it being recycled polyester to conserve resources and reduce waste.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the provided size chart or the example measurements for Size M (front body length of 68cm, rear body length of 70.5cm, shoulders of 47cm and chest circumference of 118cm). It's recommended to measure a similar garment you own for comparison.

What does 'corozo buttons' mean?
Corozo buttons are made from the seed of the tagua palm tree, also known as 'vegetable ivory'. They are a sustainable and durable alternative to plastic buttons.
Is the houndstooth pattern on both sides of the vest?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a delicate cycle at 30°C and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Embroidery appears damaged
Avoid ironing directly on the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting.
Vest loses its shape
Proper drying is key. Lay the vest flat to dry after washing, and avoid hanging it by the shoulders to prevent stretching. Store folded rather than on a hanger.
