FAQs

Is this base layer suitable for winter?

While it is breathable and moisture-wicking, it is primarily designed as a base layer. It provides minimal insulation and is better suited for spring, summer, and autumn use, or as part of a layered system in winter.

Does the UV protection wash out over time?

The UV protection is integrated into the fabric composition. With proper care and avoidance of harsh chemicals or extreme heat, it will remain effective throughout the life of the garment.

Can I iron this garment?

You may use a cool iron if necessary, but take extreme care to avoid the satin piping and the metal logo on the sleeve, as heat may damage these details.

How should I choose my size?

The base layer is designed for a tailored, snug fit. Use your standard UK dress size, but if you prefer a more relaxed fit for layering, opting for one size up is recommended.

Is the metal logo durable?

Yes, the LeMieux metal detail is designed to be high-quality and durable, but it should be washed with care to prevent it from scratching other items or being damaged in the machine.

Troubleshooting

Visible creases in the debossed pattern

Ensure the item is hung immediately after washing. Avoid ironing directly over the satin piping or metal logo.

Satin trim showing signs of snagging

Always wash inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent the piping from catching on zippers or other fasteners during the cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • UV50+ rating for superior sun protection
  • Sophisticated debossed check pattern
  • Tailored design provides high freedom of movement
  • Luxurious aesthetic with satin accents and metal branding

Cons

  • Satin piping requires delicate care during washing
  • Not intended for extreme cold weather insulation
  • Light-colored variants may show marks more easily in stable environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your base layer, always follow the garment's internal care label. Given the presence of satin piping and metal embellishments, it is recommended to turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the decorative elements. Wash on a gentle, cool cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can break down the technical properties of the UV-protective fibers. Air drying is strongly recommended over tumble drying to preserve the shape and the debossed pattern. This base layer is designed to be form-fitting; if you prefer a looser fit for layering, consider the sizing carefully before purchase.
