FAQs

What is the primary material of this blazer?

The blazer is primarily made of 97% wool, with 2% elastane and 1% polyester for added comfort and structure.

How should I clean this Vivienne Westwood blazer?

The blazer must be professionally dry cleaned only. Avoid washing, bleaching, or machine drying.

What does 'Drunken Tailoring' refer to?

'Drunken Tailoring' refers to Vivienne Westwood's signature design technique, characterized by asymmetric fastenings and deconstructed elements that create a unique, sculpted silhouette.

Does the blazer contain any animal products?

Yes, the blazer contains non-textile parts of animal origin, as indicated in the product description.

What is the 'Coquette' check pattern?

The 'Coquette' check is a pastel check pattern enriched with subtle lurex yarns, giving the fabric a unique shimmer and a somewhat homespun aesthetic.

Can this blazer be worn in warmer weather?

While made of wool, the blend with elastane and the tailored construction makes it suitable for transitional weather. It may be too warm for very hot climates but is ideal for spring and autumn.

What is the lining material?

The main lining is 100% viscose, with viscose for the sleeve lining and 100% cotton for the pocket lining.

Troubleshooting

Garment loses shape after cleaning

Ensure you are using a professional dry cleaner experienced with high-fashion wool garments. Avoid home washing or steam cleaning which can damage the fabric structure.

Lurex threads appear dull or damaged

This can occur with improper cleaning or excessive heat. Always adhere strictly to the 'dry clean only' instruction and avoid direct high heat when ironing.

Fabric feels stiff after dry cleaning

Sometimes, the solvents used in dry cleaning can temporarily affect the feel of the wool. Airing the garment out for a day or two can help restore its natural softness. If the stiffness persists, consult the dry cleaner.
