FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the cotton silk blend?

The cotton silk blend offers a unique combination of breathability from cotton and a subtle sheen and soft hand-feel from silk, creating a luxurious and comfortable fabric.

How should I determine my size in French sizing?

French sizing typically runs smaller than US or UK sizing. This shirt is described as 'Regular fit (true to size - French sizing)', so refer to standard French sizing charts or consult the brand's specific measurements if unsure.

Can I machine wash this shirt?

No, the shirt explicitly states 'Do not wash'. It requires professional dry cleaning.

What kind of occasions is this shirt suitable for?

The shirt is designed for refined everyday wear and is suitable for business-casual settings, smart-casual events, or elevated daily outfits.

What does 'soft hand' refer to in the product description?

'Soft hand' refers to the tactile quality of the fabric, indicating it feels pleasant and soft against the skin.

Are the buttons made of real mother-of-pearl?

Yes, the description specifies 'Front mother-of-pearl button closure', indicating genuine mother-of-pearl buttons.

How do dropped shoulders affect the fit?

Dropped shoulders create a more relaxed and contemporary silhouette, allowing for greater ease of movement and a less structured appearance compared to set-in sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the shirt and use a steamer on a low setting, or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Ensure the shirt is completely dry before storing.

Fabric feels stiff or loses its sheen.

This may indicate improper cleaning. Ensure professional dry cleaning is used as per care instructions. Avoid home washing or harsh cleaning agents.

Mother-of-pearl buttons seem loose.

Carefully hand-tighten the buttons. If significant looseness occurs, consult a tailor for professional repair.
