FAQs

Can I wash this leather vest in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash real leather. It must be professionally cleaned to avoid ruining the texture and finish.

How do I determine the right size?

The Rita waistcoat uses standard UK sizing. Check your measurements against the provided size 18 specifications, accounting for your preferred layering clothes.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, this garment is crafted from real leather.

Does the waistcoat have any stretch?

As it is crafted from real leather, the material has minimal to no natural stretch, which is why the adjustable buckle is included for fit refinement.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The front slit pockets are designed for small items; they may not accommodate larger modern smartphones securely.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather feel

Leather naturally softens with wear; avoid applying heavy oils or conditioners unless recommended by a professional.

Difficulty buttoning

Ensure the back adjustment buckle is loosened fully if you require more room across the midsection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your leather waistcoat remains in excellent condition, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe away light dust or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For deep cleaning or stain removal, consult a professional leather specialist.
  • Storage: Hang the waistcoat on a shaped, padded hanger to maintain its structure. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading.
  • Compatibility: The vest features a standard UK 18 fit. Ensure you measure yourself while wearing the types of clothing you intend to layer underneath to maintain the intended fit.
  • Moisture: Avoid getting the leather excessively wet. If it does get damp, let it air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators.
