Troubleshooting
Waistcoat appears too structured/stiff
Wear the waistcoat multiple times to allow the denim to soften and conform to your body. Ensure the internal structure is not overly constrained. Consider a gentle wash following care instructions.
Buttons lose their shine
Gently polish the gold-tone buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning products that can damage the finish.
Denim color fades unevenly
Wash the waistcoat inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when drying to prevent uneven fading.
