FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for summer?

The wool construction makes this shirt better suited for cooler weather, spring, or autumn layering.

Can I iron this shirt?

Ironing is not recommended. If necessary, use a cool iron with a pressing cloth, but professional steaming is much safer for the wool.

Does the sizing run true to standard measurements?

The fit is intentional and artistic; while the size L is standard, the asymmetric cut may feel looser or tighter in different areas than a traditional shirt.

What is the 'Quadrophenia' motif?

It is a specific checkered design inspired by the classic aesthetic, reimagined here with unique color blocking in blue and orange.

Is the fabric itchy?

As it is high-quality wool, it has a textured feel. If you have sensitive skin, wearing a thin undershirt is advised.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the wool

Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting or have the item professionally pressed to avoid crushing the fibers.

Button feels loose due to unique placket

The off-center placket places different tension on buttons; if one loosens, have it reinforced by a tailor to match the original stitching pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, experimental aesthetic that stands out
  • High-quality wool material offers durability and warmth
  • Sophisticated pattern matching through mismatched panels
  • Iconic Vivienne Westwood design language

Cons

  • Requires dry cleaning due to wool composition
  • Asymmetric cut may be difficult to layer under standard jackets
  • Specific silhouette may not appeal to those preferring traditional tailoring

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the structural integrity of the wool fabric and the precise asymmetric cuts, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this will cause the wool to shrink and distort the carefully constructed panels. When storing, use a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the weight of the wool from stretching the asymmetrical shoulders. For compatibility, this piece pairs best with tailored trousers or denim, but avoid bulky overcoats that might bunch up against the shirt's irregular hemline.
