FAQs
Is this waistcoat true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a regular fit based on standard UK sizing; refer to the size guide if you prefer a more tailored or oversized look.
Can I tumble dry this item?
It is not recommended. Polyester can be sensitive to high heat, and air drying will help preserve the stitching and fabric texture.
What material is the waistcoat made of?
The garment is made from 100% polyester, chosen for its durability and resistance to wrinkles.
Does it have functional pockets?
The design focuses on a sleek silhouette; please check the physical garment, but it is primarily styled as a decorative layering piece.
Can this be worn in warmer weather?
While it is a layering piece, the sleeveless design makes it suitable for transition periods when paired with lightweight cotton base layers.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or dust on the black fabric
Use a lint roller or a dampened garment brush to remove surface debris, as the deep black color can show particles more easily.
Stitching appears slightly wrinkled after washing
Use a handheld garment steamer from a short distance to gently relax the fibers and straighten the contrast stitching without direct heat contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your waistcoat remains in top condition, follow these care and styling guidelines:
- Laundry: Machine wash according to the instructions on the inner garment label. Turn the piece inside out before washing to protect the white contrast stitching from snagging or abrasion.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity. Avoid excessive heat from tumble dryers, as this can cause the polyester to lose its shape.
- Ironing: Use a cool setting on your iron. It is best to iron on the reverse side to prevent any accidental melting of the thread or surface shine on the black fabric.
- Styling Compatibility: The regular fit makes it compatible with most standard size shirts. When layering, ensure the fabric of your base layer is not too bulky to maintain a clean silhouette.
