How do I clean my waistcoat?
Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's quality and shape. For minor spots, gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth can be done.

What occasions is this waistcoat suitable for?

Can I wear this waistcoat in warmer weather?

Troubleshooting
Waistcoat feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the back strap. Loosen for a more relaxed fit, or tighten for a more cinched waist. Ensure you've selected the correct size according to your measurements.
Fabric appears wrinkled or creased.
Hang the waistcoat on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes, or use a garment steamer. If using an iron, always use a low heat setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Small fabric balls (pilling) are forming.
This can be common with wool blends. Gently remove pilling using a fabric shaver or a specialized pilling comb to restore the fabric's smooth appearance.
The waistcoat doesn't lay flat or bunches when worn.
Check your posture and the fit of the underlying garment. If the issue persists, the size may be incorrect, or the back strap might be overtightened/too loose for your body shape. Experiment with the strap adjustment.
Stains appear on the fabric.
For best results, address stains immediately. Gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Avoid harsh rubbing.
