FAQs
What does 'Tailored Fit' mean for this jacket?
A tailored fit means the jacket is cut to be closer to the body than a regular fit, offering a more modern and streamlined silhouette. It's designed to provide a sharp look without being overly restrictive, especially with the added stretch in the fabric.
Can I machine wash this suit jacket?
No, machine washing is not recommended. For best results and to maintain the jacket's shape and fabric integrity, professional dry cleaning is advised. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
What occasions is this jacket suitable for?
This jacket is highly versatile. It's perfect for formal events, business meetings, professional settings, and smart-casual gatherings. Its classic black color and tailored fit make it suitable for almost any occasion requiring a sophisticated dress code.
How do I choose the right size?
This jacket is listed as size 42. It refers to the chest measurement. We recommend comparing your current suit jacket size or measuring your chest accurately to ensure the best fit. Consider the tailored fit will be closer to the body.
What is the material composition of the jacket?
The jacket is made from a polyester viscose blend fabric with added stretch. This blend provides durability, comfort, good drape, and resistance to wrinkling.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Always store the jacket on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to help maintain its shape. Keep it in a breathable garment bag in a well-ventilated closet to protect it from dust and creasing. Avoid folding it for extended periods.
Will the added stretch affect the jacket's tailored look?
No, the added stretch is designed to enhance comfort and ease of movement without compromising the tailored silhouette. It allows the fabric to move with you, providing flexibility while retaining the jacket's sharp shape.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears wrinkled after storage or travel.
Hang the jacket on a padded hanger and allow it to air out. For quicker results, use a garment steamer or hang it in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes. Avoid direct ironing if possible; if necessary, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth.
The fit feels slightly off, particularly around the shoulders or sleeve length.
While this jacket is tailored fit, minor adjustments can significantly improve comfort and appearance. Consult a professional tailor for precise alterations to the sleeve length or to refine the fit around the torso or shoulders for a custom feel.
Fabric feels a bit stiff initially.
The polyester viscose blend with stretch is designed for comfort. With initial wear, the fabric should soften and relax, conforming more naturally to your body. Ensure it is stored correctly on a hanger to maintain its drape.
Slight sheen develops after dry cleaning.
This can sometimes occur if pressing is done improperly. Ensure your dry cleaner is aware of the fabric blend and uses appropriate pressing techniques, such as a press cloth, to avoid creating a shine on polyester blends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your jacket, it's recommended to hang it on a quality padded hanger to allow any transit creases to relax. For a crisp, ready-to-wear look, a light steaming is often beneficial. Avoid direct ironing on the fabric to prevent damage; if necessary, use a press cloth and a low heat setting.
Compatibility
This black tailored fit jacket is highly versatile. It pairs perfectly with matching black tailored trousers for a complete suit look. Alternatively, it can be worn with contrasting trousers such as grey, charcoal, or even dark navy for a sophisticated separate ensemble. It complements a wide range of shirts, from crisp white dress shirts for formal occasions to lighter colored or patterned shirts for a more business-casual approach. Ensure that your chosen shirt cuffs extend slightly beyond the jacket sleeves for a polished appearance.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Burton Tailored Fit Essential Suit Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the blend of polyester and viscose, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. This helps preserve the fabric's integrity, shape, and color. Check the garment's internal label for specific instructions.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or marks, gently blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can push the stain deeper into the fabric.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape, especially across the shoulders. Keep it in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and environmental factors. Avoid cramming it into a crowded closet, as this can lead to wrinkles and distort its shape.
- Wrinkle Removal: For light wrinkles, hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes. The steam will help relax the fabric. A garment steamer is also an effective and safe tool for wrinkle removal.
