Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This can be normal for linen blends. Try a gentle iron while slightly damp, or a fabric softener suitable for linen if the care label permits.

Waistcoat doesn't drape as expected.

Ensure you are wearing it unbuttoned. The fabric's drape is enhanced when not fully closed. Ensure it is the correct size; a size too small may restrict drape.

Lining feels uncomfortable.

Ensure the garment is the correct size and fit. If discomfort persists, consult the care label for appropriate washing to soften the fabric.
