FAQs
Is this top suitable for layering under a jacket?
Yes, its slim-fit construction makes it an excellent choice for layering under blazers, cardigans, or jackets without creating excess bulk.
Does the top have much stretch?
It is designed as a slim fit, meaning it offers a structured hold. While it has some give, it is not as stretchy as oversized jersey clothing.
What is a grandad collar?
A grandad collar is a band collar that sits close to the neck without the presence of traditional folded shirt flaps, offering a minimalist, clean aesthetic.
Can I put this item in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to air dry this item flat to maintain the shape of the ruched detailing and prevent fabric shrinkage.
How do I choose the right size?
Since this is a slim-fit garment, if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly less form-fitting look, opting for the larger size is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The top feels too tight around the shoulders.
Consider sizing up, as the slim fit design is intended to be close-fitting and may offer limited movement for broader shoulders.
Ruched detailing looks wrinkled or uneven after washing.
Lay the garment perfectly flat while damp and manually adjust the gathers to ensure they dry in the correct, uniform position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the ruched design, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water to protect the fabric fibers.
- Drying: Air dry by laying the top flat on a clean surface to prevent stretching or distortion of the ruched sections.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer. Avoid ironing directly over the ruched sections to prevent flattening the detail.
- Storage: Fold the top rather than hanging it for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fabric's shape.
- Compatibility: Best paired with high-rise bottoms to complement the slim silhouette.
