FAQs
What is MASTERS OF LINEN certification?
It is a certification that guarantees the linen is European-grown, traceable, and produced according to high environmental and social standards.
Does this vest have any stretch?
No, it is made of 100% linen, which is a natural fiber with no inherent stretch. The fit is determined by the cut and the adjustable front ties.
How should I wash this garment?
We recommend a gentle machine cycle or hand washing in cold water with mild detergent, followed by air drying.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to avoid the tumble dryer as it can cause significant shrinkage and permanent creasing.
Is the black color prone to fading?
Like all dark natural fabrics, it should be washed inside out and dried away from direct sunlight to maintain the depth of the black hue.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Lightly mist the vest with water and steam gently or iron while damp to restore a smooth finish.
The fit feels slightly tight at the chest
Adjust the front-tie detailing to create a looser drape or wear it slightly open over a light base layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your vest in optimal condition, treat the linen with care. Always check the garment label for specific washing instructions, but generally, cold water hand washing or a gentle machine cycle is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fibers. Avoid harsh tumble drying, as high heat can shrink and damage linen; instead, hang to dry in the shade to maintain the black pigment. Due to the nature of linen, it is best to iron or steam the garment while slightly damp to smooth out wrinkles effectively before wearing.
