FAQs

What material is the waistcoat made from?

The waistcoat is crafted from a compact stretch fabrication, primarily polyester, designed for ease of movement and shape retention.

How do I determine the best size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider the slim fit. If you prefer a looser fit or are between sizes, you may wish to size up.

Can I wear this waistcoat in warmer weather?

Yes, the sleeveless design makes it suitable for warmer weather when layered appropriately, such as over a light camisole or short-sleeved blouse.

How do I style the tie-front detail?

You can tie it at the front for a cinched waist or leave the ends untied to wear the waistcoat open for a more relaxed look.

What is the length of the waistcoat?

The waistcoat has a longline cut, sitting at approximately 65cm in length.

Is this waistcoat suitable for formal events?

Yes, its tailored finish, sharp lapels, and elegant cut make it very suitable for formal business events and sophisticated evening occasions.

Troubleshooting

Waistcoat appears creased

Gently steam the reverse side of the fabric on a cool setting or have it professionally dry cleaned.

Tie front is difficult to adjust

Ensure the fabric is smooth before attempting to tie. If the fabric is very crisp, a gentle steam may help soften it slightly.

Fabric loses its shape

Ensure proper care is followed, particularly dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Store on an appropriate hanger.
