Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

No, due to the structured tailoring and high-quality compact stretch fabric, it is recommended to dry clean the jacket to maintain its shape.

Does the jacket run true to size?

The jacket is designed with a tailored fit. Because it features a compact stretch, it should contour to your body, but we recommend checking the size guide to ensure the waist measurement aligns with your natural frame.

Can I wear this in the winter?

This jacket is primarily designed for mild weather or as an indoor piece. For winter, it works perfectly under a long wool coat.

What kind of tops look best underneath?

Because of the collarless neckline, a camisole, a high-neck sleeveless shell, or a fine-gauge knit turtleneck works exceptionally well.

Are the buttons plastic or real tortoiseshell?

The buttons are tortoiseshell-effect, chosen for their durability and visual elegance while remaining consistent with the brand's ethical manufacturing standards.

Troubleshooting

Fabric looks slightly dull after wear

Lightly steam the garment to restore the fiber tension and smooth out surface micro-creases.

Button feels loose

The buttons are decorative and functional; if one feels loose, reinforce the stitching from the inside of the placket with a matching thread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in pristine condition, please adhere to the following care instructions:

Storage: Always hang the jacket on a contoured suit hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and waist.
Cleaning: Due to the structured tailoring and fabric composition, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the seams and the shape of the garment.
Compatibility: This piece serves as a neutral base. It is compatible with most office-wear palettes, particularly black, navy, or monochromatic tones, thanks to its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic.
Maintenance: If the garment develops minor creasing during travel, use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance rather than a high-heat iron to avoid damaging the compact stretch fibers.
