Product Information

Full details

The Wallis Statement Collar Waisted Double Breasted Jacket is a sophisticated garment designed for women who need a polished, tailored piece for formal events, weddings, or professional settings. Its primary benefit is a structured silhouette that combines a dramatic, oversized collar with a defined waist to create a flattering and authoritative profile. Note that as this garment is crafted from silk, it requires careful handling and specialized cleaning to maintain its texture and appearance over time.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for everyday office wear?

Yes, it pairs exceptionally well with tailored trousers for a sophisticated, professional ensemble.

Can I machine wash this silk jacket?

No, this jacket should only be dry cleaned to prevent damage to the silk fibers and the structured lining.

How should I store the jacket to keep the collar shape?

Hang the jacket on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the oversized collar from folding or creasing unnaturally.

Does the waist run true to size?

The jacket is cut for a defined, nipped-in silhouette; ensure you follow standard sizing guidelines to maintain the intended fit.

What type of jewelry works best with this collar?

Because the collar is a statement piece, it is best to wear delicate jewelry, such as simple stud earrings or a fine bracelet, to avoid overwhelming the look.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the silk fabric

Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting held at a distance, or have the jacket professionally pressed.

Buttons appearing loose

Reinforce the stitching on the back of the buttons using a needle and matching thread, ensuring you do not pull the fabric too tight.

Static cling affecting the drape

Gently mist the lining with an anti-static spray from a distance or use a light touch of a fabric softener sheet on the inside lining only.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering, feminine silhouette due to the waisted design
  • High-impact visual appeal perfect for formal events
  • Versatile enough to style with both dresses and tailored trousers
  • High-quality construction with full internal lining

Cons

  • Silk material requires delicate care and dry cleaning
  • Oversized collar may feel restrictive with certain scarf styles
  • Limited to formal or smart-casual occasions due to its statement aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in pristine condition, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces that could snag the silk material. Because the garment features a structured double-breasted fit, it is recommended to store it on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the drape of the collar. Due to the delicate nature of silk, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended for maintenance; avoid household washing machines or tumble dryers. If the buttons loosen over time, secure them carefully to maintain the jacket's tailored lines.
