Fabric feels stiff after storage

This can sometimes occur with silk. Hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for a short period (do not let it get wet) or consult a professional dry cleaner for restoration.

Buttons become loose

Gently re-sew loose buttons using a strong thread that matches the original. Ensure the thread is securely fastened.

Creasing

Iron on a very low heat setting with the iron on the reverse side of the fabric, preferably with a pressing cloth, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.
