Troubleshooting

Trousers appear to have lost their shape.

Ensure the trousers are stored flat or on a hanger. If creasing occurs, iron on a low heat setting. The compact stretch fabric is designed to recover its shape.

Button detailing feels loose.

Carefully assess the button attachment. If loose, professional alteration or repair may be necessary to secure them properly.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.

This can sometimes occur with stretch fabrics. Gentle steaming or professional dry cleaning using a specialized silk treatment may help restore softness.

This is often due to improper cleaning. Always follow dry clean only instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive moisture if spot cleaning.
