Troubleshooting

Blazer feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments, as the stretch fabric allows for some flexibility.

Fabric appears creased after storage or travel.

Hang the blazer in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a fabric steamer on a low setting. Professional dry cleaning can also help press out stubborn creases.

Statement button comes loose.

Carefully reattach the button using a needle and thread appropriate for the fabric. If unsure, consult a tailor for secure reattachment.
