Troubleshooting

Trousers appear wrinkled after wear.

This is common with linen blends. Try steaming the trousers or using a cool iron on the reverse side. For significant wrinkles, professional dry cleaning can restore their shape.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals. Fabric softener can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Air drying and gentle ironing should restore softness.

Buttons feel loose.

Carefully re-stitch loose buttons using a strong thread matching the original. Ensure the thread is securely fastened to the fabric.
