FAQs

What material is the waistcoat made of?

The waistcoat is crafted from a compact stretch fabrication, consisting of 97% Polyester and 3% Elastane, offering both structure and comfort.

How can I adjust the fit of the waistcoat?

The waistcoat features a signature tie-front detail that allows you to adjust the silhouette, cinching it for a more defined waist or leaving it open for a relaxed look.

What is the recommended way to clean this waistcoat?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the quality and shape of the fabric. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

What occasions is this waistcoat best suited for?

This waistcoat is ideal for professional settings, client meetings, corporate events, and sophisticated evening engagements. It also works for smart-casual layering.

How does the longline cut affect the appearance?

The longline cut, sitting at approximately 65cm, is designed to create an elongating effect, visually lengthening the wearer's silhouette.

Can I wear this waistcoat open?

Yes, the tie-front detail allows the waistcoat to be worn open and draped for a more relaxed, editorial feel, in addition to being tied for a structured look.

What other items pair well with this waistcoat?

It pairs exceptionally well with tailored trousers, pencil skirts, blouses, and fine knitwear. For a complete look, consider matching tailored trousers and heels.

Troubleshooting

Waistcoat appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the waistcoat in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a low heat setting following care instructions.

Tie-front is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the fabric is smooth before tying. Gently pull the ties to adjust to your desired fit. If excessively tight, loosen slightly and retie.

White fabric shows minor marks.

For small, fresh marks, a gentle spot clean with a mild detergent and damp cloth may be effective. For stubborn stains, professional dry cleaning is advised.

Fit feels too tight or too loose.

Utilize the tie-front detail for adjustments. If the overall fit is problematic, consider the sizing options available (e.g., sizes 6-16 UK).
