Troubleshooting
Waistcoat appears creased after wear
This is natural for linen blends. A light steam or careful ironing on a low setting can help. For prolonged wear, consider it part of the fabric's character.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a mild detergent and cool water. Lay flat to dry and avoid harsh wringing. Gentle stretching while damp can help restore drape. If dry cleaned, consult the cleaner.
Buttons feel loose
Carefully re-sew any loose buttons with a strong thread, ensuring they are securely fastened to the fabric.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the linen-viscose blend, it is recommended to dry clean this waistcoat to maintain its shape and texture. Alternatively, a gentle hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent may be possible, but always test on an inconspicuous area first and proceed with caution.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric's integrity.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting while the garment is slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric's finish.
