FAQs

Can this jacket be machine washed?

No, because the jacket is made of silk, it should not be machine washed. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.

What type of jewelry complements the oversized collar?

Delicate jewelry is best, such as small stud earrings or a minimalist bracelet, as the collar itself is a statement piece.

Is the jacket heavy enough for winter?

This jacket is designed for occasion wear and style rather than heavy insulation. It is best suited for seasonal transitions or indoor events.

How should I store this jacket?

Store it in a breathable garment bag on a padded hanger in a cool, dry, and dark closet to prevent fabric stress and fading.

Does the jacket run true to size?

The jacket is cut for a tailored, waisted silhouette; ensure you check your measurements against our sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear this over a bulky sweater?

The jacket is cut with a defined waist for a tailored look, so layering it over bulky garments may disrupt the silhouette and feel uncomfortable.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the silk

Use a garment steamer on the lowest setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the fabric to prevent heat damage.

Button feels loose after frequent use

Reinforce the stitching on the back of the button using a matching thread to ensure the structured fastenings remain secure.

Snag in the fabric

Do not pull the loose thread. Take the garment to a professional tailor to have the snag carefully woven back into the weave of the silk.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dramatic, fashion-forward aesthetic suitable for high-profile events
  • Tailored silhouette that enhances the waistline
  • High-quality silk construction provides a luxury finish
  • Fully lined for added comfort and garment longevity

Cons

  • Silk fabric requires gentle handling to avoid snags or tears
  • Professional dry cleaning is typically necessary for maintenance
  • The oversized collar may limit the choice of scarves or accessories

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the silk fabric, hang the jacket on a high-quality, padded clothes hanger immediately after wear to help it retain its shape. Avoid exposing the garment to direct sunlight or damp conditions for extended periods to prevent discoloration. Due to the delicate nature of silk, spot cleaning is not recommended for larger stains; instead, consult a professional dry cleaner who specializes in delicate fabrics. If the jacket becomes wrinkled, use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance rather than a high-heat iron to smooth out the material without damaging the fibers.
