FAQs

Is the skirt waistband adjustable?

The skirt features an elasticated side waistband which allows for a small amount of stretch and flexibility beyond the base size.

How long is the midi skirt?

The skirt has a drop of approximately 25 to 26 inches (65-67 cm), typically falling to mid-calf height depending on your individual stature.

Can I put this suit in the tumble dryer?

No, tumble drying is not recommended as it may damage the lining, degrade the shoulder pads, and shrink the polyester material.

Are the jacket pockets functional?

Yes, the jacket is designed with functional front slit pockets for convenience.

What material is the suit made from?

This specific variant is crafted from high-quality polyester, which is known for its durability and shape retention.

Does the suit come with a belt?

No, the suit is designed with a clean, tailored aesthetic and does not include a belt.

Troubleshooting

Invisible zip is sticking or difficult to close.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper track to act as a lubricant.

Shoulder pads look misshapen after storage.

Steam the jacket lightly while it is on a hanger, then gently mold the pads back into place with your hands while the fabric is warm.

Static cling occurs on the skirt lining.

Lightly mist the inside of the skirt with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray before putting it on.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Paulo Due suit in pristine condition, professional dry cleaning is recommended due to the structured tailoring and lining. If laundering at home, use a cold, delicate cycle inside a mesh garment bag to protect the gold buttons and the invisible zip. Avoid tumble drying; instead, hang the jacket on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder pads. The skirt should be hung by the waistband or dried flat. When wearing, ensure the invisible back zip is fully clear of fabric before pulling it up to prevent jamming. Iron the suit on a low setting, ideally using a steam press or a protective cloth between the iron and the polyester fabric to prevent shine or scorching.
