Troubleshooting

Waistcoat appears too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size chart. Consider consulting the brand's sizing guide for precise measurements. The slim fit is intended to be close to the body.

Fabric has lost its sheen or appears creased

Avoid direct heat when ironing and always iron on the reverse side with a cool setting. For significant creasing, professional steaming or dry cleaning may be necessary.

Halterneck feels uncomfortable or is too loose

Adjust the halterneck tie for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure it is tied symmetrically. If the length is an issue, a tailor may be able to make minor adjustments.
