FAQs

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a cotton-rich fabric that offers stretch comfort.

How should I style this jacket for a formal event?

For a formal event, pair the jacket with tailored trousers or a skirt, a sophisticated blouse or camisole, and heels. Consider adding elegant jewelry.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket features a slim-fit design. It is recommended to consult the brand's size chart and consider your personal preference for fit. Available sizes include S, and others listed in product variants.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Always refer to the care label for the most accurate instructions. Garments with decorative detailing often require dry cleaning or careful hand washing.

What makes the design 'military-inspired'?

The military inspiration comes from the structured silhouette, the high neck design, and the distinctive decorative tape detailing across the front, reminiscent of traditional military uniforms.

What are the washing instructions for the white color?

For the white color, it is crucial to follow the care label precisely to avoid discoloration. Dry cleaning is often recommended for maintaining the pristine white finish and the integrity of the decorative elements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears creased after storage.

Hang the jacket on a suitable hanger and allow it to naturally de-crease. If necessary, iron on a low setting inside out, avoiding embellishments.

Decorative tape or cord detail becomes loose.

Carefully stitch the loose element back into place using a matching thread. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing method (e.g., dry clean only). If hand-washed, use a fabric conditioner suitable for cotton blends. Re-ironing on a low heat may also help.
