Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too long

Due to the floor-skimming design, professional tailoring or hemming may be required for a perfect fit, depending on your height and footwear.

Fabric loses structure after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended dry clean only instructions. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can damage the fabric's structure.

Creasing around the waistband

Ensure the trousers are stored properly on a hanger. If creasing occurs, use a cool iron setting, taking care around the piping.
