FAQs

What does 'certified cotton' mean?

Certified cotton indicates that the cotton used in the garment has been produced and processed according to specific environmental and social standards, often verified by a third-party certification body. This usually implies more sustainable and ethical farming practices.

How do I know if I should choose an oversized fit?

Oversized fits are generally looser and more relaxed. If you prefer a more contemporary, relaxed silhouette or plan to layer heavily, an oversized fit might be suitable. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider a standard fit.

Can this overshirt be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the breathable nature of cotton makes it suitable for warmer weather, especially when worn open over a lighter base layer. However, it is not designed as a heavy-duty summer garment.

What does 'Cassandre embroidery' refer to?

The Cassandre is the iconic interlocking YSL logo created by graphic artist Cassandre in 1961. Its presence on the chest pocket signifies the garment's authenticity and designer origin.

Is this shirt suitable for formal occasions?

This overshirt is best suited for smart-casual to casual occasions. It is generally too relaxed for formal events.

What are the available sizes for this model?

This specific listing is for a size S. However, the Saint Laurent Cassandre Overshirt is available in other sizes, including XS, M, L, and XL, some of which may feature an oversized fit.

Troubleshooting

Embroidery appears to be fraying

Check for loose threads and carefully trim them with sharp scissors. Avoid snagging the embroidery during wear and washing.

Shirt feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not excessive heat during drying. Re-washing with a fabric softener might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Color fading

Always wash inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Use detergents that are color-safe.
