FAQs

Is the sizing true to fit?

Can I wear this in the summer?

The jacket is inspired by hunting attire and boating suits, typically using substantial fabrics, making it most suitable for transitional weather or autumn and spring.

How should I store this jacket?

Store in a cool, dry place on a wide-shouldered hanger inside a breathable garment bag to maintain the structure of the shoulders.

Are the patch pockets functional?

Yes, the oversized patch pockets are functional and designed for both aesthetic appeal and practical use.

Does this jacket come in other colors?

While the signature version features the 'Dandy Hunt' check, there are variants such as the beige plaid option available in different sizes.

Troubleshooting

Minor wrinkling from storage

Hang the jacket in a bathroom while running a hot shower to use the steam, or use a professional garment steamer at a safe distance.

Loose button or thread

As this is a premium garment, it is recommended to take it to a specialized tailor to ensure the original buttons and stitching style are maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vivienne Westwood jacket, proper care is essential. Given the specialized checkered material and structured nature of the garment, avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Always consult the care label inside the jacket for specific fabric requirements, though professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the shape and color vibrancy. For storage, use a high-quality, wide-shouldered wooden hanger to prevent the jacket from distorting over time. Compatibility-wise, this piece pairs best with tailored trousers or slim-fit dark denim for a balanced look.
