FAQs

What does 'Drunken Tailoring' refer to?

'Drunken Tailoring' is a signature Vivienne Westwood design concept that involves experimental cutting and asymmetric fastenings, creating a unique, deconstructed, and avant-garde silhouette.

What is the 'Coquette' check?

The 'Coquette' check is the specific name given to the pastel checkered pattern used on this jacket, enriched with playful lurex yarns for a textured finish.

Can I wash this jacket at home?

No, this jacket must be dry cleaned only due to its wool blend composition and delicate construction.

What material is the lining made of?

The main lining is 100% viscose, with 100% viscose for the sleeve lining and 100% cotton for the pocket lining.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket features side slit pockets.

Where is this jacket made?

This jacket is made in Italy.

What does 'Contains non-textile parts of animal origin' mean?

This indicates that the garment contains components derived from animals, such as buttons or threads, which are not fabric. For this jacket, it likely refers to materials used in its construction that are not explicitly listed as wool, viscose, or polyester.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears creased upon arrival

Allow the jacket to hang for a day or two. If creases persist, consult a professional dry cleaner for appropriate pressing.

Lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure the jacket fits correctly. The viscose lining is designed for smoothness; if discomfort persists, it may be an issue of fit rather than material.

Checkered pattern alignment seems off

This is a characteristic of Vivienne Westwood's 'Drunken' tailoring, which intentionally features asymmetric details and sometimes non-perfect pattern matching to create an experimental aesthetic. This is not a defect.
