What does 'single-breasted' mean in the context of this blazer?

What is the recommended care for this blazer?
It is generally recommended to follow the specific care label instructions, which often involves dry cleaning for tailored garments of this type to maintain shape and fabric quality.
How does the slim fit silhouette affect styling?

What does 'notched lapels' refer to?

Troubleshooting
Blazer appears wrinkled upon arrival
This is common with linen blends. Hang the blazer in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side as per care instructions.
Buttons feel loose
Carefully reinforce the buttons by hand-sewing them with a strong thread. Consult a tailor for professional repair if needed.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure you are following the recommended cleaning method. If dry cleaning, the process should maintain fabric softness. If hand washing (check label), a very mild fabric conditioner might be appropriate, used sparingly and tested on an inconspicuous area first.
