FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Estate-Rib fabric?

The Estate-Rib fabric provides a super-soft, velvety texture that enhances comfort and gives the vest a premium feel.

Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?

The vest is lightly padded and designed for lightweight warmth, making it ideal for transitional weather or layering. For extreme cold, additional layers would be necessary.

How do I wash the vest to maintain its quality?

The vest should be machine washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry.

What does 'Corozo buttons' mean?

Corozo buttons are typically made from the tagua nut, a sustainable material from South America, often referred to as 'plant ivory'. They are known for their durability and unique appearance.

Can I wear this vest for formal occasions?

While the vest has a sophisticated design, it is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. It pairs well with dress shirts but is not typically considered formal wear.

What is the sizing information for a Medium (M)?

For a size M, the front body length is 68cm, rear body length is 70.5cm, shoulders measure 47cm, and the chest circumference is 118cm.

What materials are used for the padding?

The padding is made from 100% polyester, with a focus on using recycled polyester to conserve resources and reduce waste.

Troubleshooting

Vest appears creased after washing.

Gently reshape the vest while damp and lay flat to dry. If needed, iron on a very low setting, avoiding direct pressure on the ribbed texture.

Fabric feels stiff after drying.

Ensure you are using the delicate cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the velvet texture. Air drying is recommended.

Embroidery is damaged.

Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered area. If damage is significant, professional repair may be necessary.
