FAQs
Is the material itchy?
No, the garment is made from high-quality MASTERS OF LINEN-certified linen, which is soft, breathable, and designed for comfort.
Does the vest shrink?
Linen can shrink if washed in high temperatures or tumble dried. Always follow the cold wash and air-dry recommendations.
Where is the garment made?
The Alma Stand-Up Collar Tie Vest is crafted in Portugal.
What does the MASTERS OF LINEN certification mean?
It is a registered trademark that guarantees the linen is sourced and produced entirely in Europe according to specific environmental and social standards.
Can I wear this as a standalone top?
Yes, the vest is designed with a secure front-tie closure that allows it to be worn comfortably as a top, though you may prefer a base layer depending on your comfort preference.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the available sizing options (S, M, L, XL) and match them against your body measurements for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
The linen fabric looks wrinkled after sitting for an extended period.
Linen naturally wrinkles; mist the garment lightly with water and smooth it out with your hands or give it a quick pass with a steam iron.
The tie closure feels loose.
Ensure the knot is tied securely or double-knotted if the fabric slides, or check that the fabric has not stretched significantly due to improper washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Alma Vest maintains its shape and quality, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry by laying the garment flat on a clean surface or hanging it on a wooden hanger to preserve the structure of the stand-up collar. Avoid tumble drying, as this can shrink linen fibers.
- Ironing: Iron while slightly damp using a medium-to-high heat setting. Using a steam iron helps remove stubborn wrinkles characteristic of linen fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using padded hangers helps prevent the shoulders from losing their shape over time.
