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.
