Troubleshooting
Waistcoat appears creased after storage
Gently steam the garment on a low heat setting or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct ironing on the satin surface.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive
Consider the slim-fit nature of the garment. If a different size is available, consult the size chart. Ensure proper fastening.
