FAQs

What is the primary material of this waistcoat?

The waistcoat is made from a blend of 65% Wool and 35% Recycled Polyester.

What type of fit does the waistcoat have?

It features a regular fit, designed for everyday comfort.

How do I adjust the waistcoat for ventilation?

The waistcoat has a two-way zip fastening that allows you to open it from the top or bottom for adjustable airflow and styling.

Are the pockets secure?

The waistcoat has two generously sized angled lower patch pockets. They are not secured with zippers or buttons but are designed for practical storage.

How should I clean the waistcoat?

Is this waistcoat suitable for very cold weather?

It's ideal for when the temperature begins to dip and for layering. For extreme cold, it would likely need to be worn under a heavier outer coat.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes lubricate the teeth.

Fabric feels rough after cleaning

This can happen with wool blends. Ensure professional dry cleaning is used as per instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive agitation.

Pockets seem to lose shape

Avoid overstuffing the pockets. Ensure the garment is stored flat and not crammed into a tight space.
