FAQs

What material is this blazer made from?

The blazer is crafted from a breathable linen blend fabric.

What is the recommended way to clean the blazer?

What does the 77cm length refer to?

The 77cm length refers to the measurement from the shoulder seam to the hem, indicating a versatile blazer length suitable for various outfits.

How does the slim fit affect sizing?

The slim fit is designed for a sleek silhouette. If you prefer a looser fit or have a broader frame, consider sizing up.

Can this blazer be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the linen blend fabric makes it suitable for warmer weather due to its breathability.

Are there matching trousers available?

Troubleshooting

Blazer appears wrinkled

Gently steam the blazer on a low heat setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn wrinkles, iron on a low setting while slightly damp, using a pressing cloth if necessary.

Buttons feel loose

If buttons feel loose, reinforce them by hand-sewing them more securely with a strong thread. If a button falls off, consult a tailor for professional reattachment.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning or gentle washing instructions. Sometimes, over-drying can cause stiffness; try ironing while slightly damp or consider a fabric conditioner suitable for linen blends if handwashing.
