Troubleshooting

Vest appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the vest in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth, focusing on the reverse side.

Gold hardware appears dull.

Gently polish the gold buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Lining feels uncomfortable.
