FAQs

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a blend of wool and polyester, featuring a bandage knit construction.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The jacket is designed for a slim, figure-forming fit.

Can this jacket be worn in warmer weather?

While the bandage knit offers structure, the wool blend may be warm for very hot weather. It is best suited for transitional seasons or indoor professional environments.

Are the gold-tone buttons functional on the chest pockets?

The gold-tone buttons are decorative and serve as a design element on the chest pockets; they are not functional closures.

What kind of occasions is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for professional settings, corporate events, important meetings, and can also be styled for sophisticated evening occasions.

How do I care for the contrast piping?

The contrast piping should be cared for following the general dry cleaning instructions for the garment to prevent damage or discoloration.

Troubleshooting

Jacket losing its shape

Ensure the jacket is stored correctly on a padded hanger and avoid overcrowding your wardrobe. Professional dry cleaning will help restore its structure.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled

Use a cool iron setting with a pressing cloth or steam the jacket from a distance. Avoid direct high heat.

Snags or pulls in the knit

For minor snags, try gently pulling the thread from the reverse side. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner.
