Full details

FAQs

Can I wash this jacket at home?

No. Due to the delicate nature of silk, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended to avoid damaging the fabric.

Does the jacket have any stretch?

The jacket is constructed with a structured, tailored design that prioritizes silhouette over stretch; we recommend selecting your standard size for the best fit.

Is the jacket fully lined?

Yes, the jacket is fully lined to ensure a smooth finish against the skin and to help maintain the jacket's structured shape.

What occasions are best suited for this jacket?

It is ideal for weddings, graduation ceremonies, formal luncheons, and the races, where a polished, put-together appearance is required.

How should I store the jacket to protect the oversized collar?

Use a wide, padded hanger to support the weight of the collar and prevent the shoulders from losing their shape.

Troubleshooting

Wrinkling of the silk fabric

Use a handheld steamer on a low, delicate setting held at a distance, or allow the item to hang in a steamy bathroom to naturally release light creases.

Button looseness

Check the internal reinforcement thread. If a button feels loose, secure it immediately with a matching thread to prevent loss of the structured fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in pristine condition, keep the following guidelines in mind:

Care Instructions: Given the delicate silk construction, this jacket should not be machine washed. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the integrity of the fabric and the structure of the collar. Avoid hanging the jacket on thin wire hangers, which can cause shoulder distortion; instead, use a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the statement collar.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade silk fibers over time. Use a garment bag to protect against dust and snagging when the item is not in use.

Compatibility: This piece is designed for formal and occasion wear and is compatible with most tailored trousers, skirts, and midi-length dresses.
