Troubleshooting
Shirt appears wrinkled after washing
Ensure the shirt is ironed on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Avoid over-drying in the machine.
Loss of lustre in fabric
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully, using cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or high-heat drying, which can dull the sateen finish.
Sleeves feel restrictive
While designed for a fitted cuff, ensure the size purchased allows for comfortable movement. If the cuff feels too tight, consider a gentle stretch after washing or consult care label for specific fabric treatments.
Buttons are loose
Carefully hand-sew loose buttons back onto the shirt using a strong thread and a needle. Ensure the stitches are secure.
