How do I care for the gold-tone buttons?

No, the asymmetric hem is a deliberate design element that adds a modern and sophisticated touch to the silhouette.

Troubleshooting
Waistcoat appears to lose its shape after wear.
Ensure the garment is stored correctly by hanging it on a padded hanger. Follow the recommended dry cleaning instructions to maintain its structured fit.
Gold-tone buttons are tarnished or losing shine.
Gently polish the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
Fabric feels stiff after washing (if hand-washed).
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cool water. A very light press with a cool iron might help restore softness. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.
Asymmetric hem appears uneven.
This is an intentional design feature. If the garment is significantly distorted, ensure it is hung correctly and consider professional pressing.
