Can I wear this jacket for less formal events?

Troubleshooting

Pockets are unusable.

The pockets may be sewn shut with holding stitches for shipping. Carefully unpick these stitches with a seam ripper or small scissors to open them.

Jacket feels slightly restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size from the size chart. The fabric blend includes a hint of lycra for comfort; if restriction persists, consider if a different size or fit is required.

Satin lapels appear dull or marked.

Avoid direct contact with moisture and oils. Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning to preserve the satin finish.
