Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing.
Linen blends can feel stiff initially. Ensure you have rinsed thoroughly and consider a fabric softener on a very low setting if the care label permits, or simply wear it to soften.
Wrinkles are difficult to remove.
Iron the waistcoat while it is slightly damp, using a medium heat setting. A steam iron can also be effective.
Buttons appear loose.
Gently tighten the threads of the statement buttons with a needle and matching thread. If a button is severely damaged, contact customer service for potential replacements.

- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat which can damage the linen fibers.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp, to best manage wrinkles. Use a pressing cloth for delicate areas.
