Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled
This is a natural characteristic of linen blends. Hang the waistcoat in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side.
Corset back lacing is too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing at the back of the waistcoat to achieve a comfortable and flattering fit. Loosen for more room, tighten for a more cinched effect.
Gold-tone buttons lose their shine
Gently polish the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
