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.
