FAQs
What does "OLD" treatment mean for this vest?
The "OLD" treatment refers to a special garment-dyeing process that gives the fabric a unique, pre-worn, and slightly faded appearance, characteristic of vintage items. This process ensures each vest has a distinct look.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart and compare your chest, waist, and shoulder measurements. The product description notes this is an XL, and sibling products are available in other sizes. It's recommended to measure a similar vest you own and compare those dimensions.
Is this vest suitable for cold weather?
The vest has a quilted lining, offering some warmth, but it is primarily designed as a layering piece for transitional weather. It is not intended as a primary insulator for very cold conditions.
Can I machine wash the vest?
While possible on a very delicate, cold cycle, hand washing is highly recommended to best preserve the "OLD" garment-dyed finish and the integrity of the fabric. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
What material is the vest made of?
The vest is made of 100% Cotton.
What is the function of the back bib?
The back bib is a design feature that includes a snap-button closure, adding to the vest's utility and unique aesthetic. It can be worn snapped or unsnapped depending on style preference.
How do I clean the "OLD" treatment if it gets dirty?
Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth. For overall cleaning, follow the recommended hand wash or delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the unique dyeing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or snagging
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Color fading unevenly
This is a characteristic of the "OLD" garment-dyeing process and contributes to the unique aesthetic. If concerned about excessive fading, follow care instructions strictly, washing in cold water and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
Snap buttons are difficult to fasten
Ensure the material is properly aligned before pressing the snap. If a snap feels loose, it may require professional repair.
Garment feels stiff after washing
This can happen with garment-dyed cotton. Lay flat to dry and gently stretch the fabric while damp. A low-heat iron can also help soften the material.
