FAQs

Is this vest suitable for year-round wear?

Yes, its leather construction is perfect for layering during cooler months, while its breathable lining keeps it comfortable in milder temperatures.

How do I determine the best size?

The Rita comes in standard UK dress sizes. Use your waist and bust measurements to ensure the best fit, keeping in mind the adjustable buckle at the back.

Can I iron this leather vest?

Never use an iron directly on the leather. If the waistcoat becomes wrinkled, hang it in a steamy bathroom away from direct water contact to help the leather relax.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, the Rita collection from House of Leather is made from high-quality, genuine hide.

What should I do if I spill liquid on it?

Blot the liquid immediately with a clean, dry, absorbent cloth. Do not rub the area, as this can force the liquid deeper into the pores of the leather.

Does the vest provide any stretch?

As it is made from real leather, it will soften and mold to your body over time, but it does not have the stretch properties of synthetic fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness after storage

Gently massage the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

Buckle feels loose

Ensure the prong is properly seated in the hole; if it slips, consider having a cobbler add a small reinforcement hole.

Surface scuffs

Use a leather color-matched cream to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your leather waistcoat remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the garment on a shaped wooden hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulders and torso. Avoid using thin wire hangers.
  2. Cleaning: Do not wash in a machine. Wipe light dust away with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use a professional leather cleaner designed for garments.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every six months to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
  4. Moisture: If the leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat will cause the hide to warp or shrink.
