FAQs
Is this waistcoat waterproof?
The waistcoat is made of nylon but is not categorized as waterproof. It is best suited for dry, cool conditions or light mist.
How should I wash this garment?
Always check the internal garment tag. Generally, a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for down is recommended.
Does it fit true to size?
Yes, this model follows a standard regular fit, allowing for comfortable layering without feeling overly tight.
Can I wear this under a blazer?
Due to its design and thickness, it is best worn as a top layer over sweaters or under a loose-fitting outer jacket.
What is the primary material?
The exterior is crafted from durable nylon with a flocked finish, and the interior is insulated with a blend of down and feathers.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through the fabric
This is normal for down products; gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it through the surface.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track; a light application of a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant can help restore smoothness.
Loss of loft after storage
Gently shake or tumble dry on a low-heat setting with dryer balls to redistribute the down fill and restore volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions. Because of the unique flocked finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing or abrasive detergents. If the garment gets wet, hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the down loft. Store the waistcoat on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape over time. It is highly compatible with most casual wardrobes, matching well with denim, chinos, and casual knitwear.
