FAQs
Can this waistcoat be machine washed?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a delicate cycle with cold water and a garment bag to protect the structure.
Is the material stretchy?
The waistcoat is designed with a tailored fit in polyester, which offers minimal stretch compared to jersey fabrics.
What is the best way to store it?
Always hang the waistcoat on a sturdy, wide-shoulder hanger to prevent the shoulders from losing their shape.
Does it fit true to size?
The UK size 8 follows standard tailoring guidelines, but the structured cut means it will feel more fitted than oversized styles.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While polyester is durable, it is less breathable than natural fibers; it is best suited for air-conditioned environments or cooler weather.
Troubleshooting
The button feels loose after repeated use.
Reinforce the button stitching using a needle and matching black thread to prevent accidental loss.
Fabric appears slightly shiny after ironing.
Always use a pressing cloth between the iron and the polyester fabric, and keep the iron on a low-heat setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories waistcoat retains its tailored fit, always check the interior care label. Generally, this polyester garment should be washed on a gentle cycle in cool water to prevent heat damage to the fibers. Avoid heavy-duty agitation in the dryer; instead, hang the garment to air dry on a shaped hanger to maintain the silhouette.
Compatibility-wise, the UK size 8 fit is standardized, but because it is a tailored piece, it is recommended to measure against a similar vest you currently own. It layers best with lightweight fabrics such as thin silk blouses or cotton t-shirts; bulky knitwear worn underneath may distort the intended hourglass structure.
