100% Rayon Crepe. Ingen stretch!
For produkter fremstillet i Rayon Crepe-stof, foreslår vi, at du plejer tøjet på samme måde, som du ville gøre det med originalt 40'er-tøj.
Vi anbefaler, at du håndvasker tøjet, ligesom det blev gjort i 1940'erne, selvom du i dag kan rense det i stedet, hvis du ønsker det!
Det er bedst ikke at tørre tøjet i direkte sollys eller på et alt for varmt sted (som over radiator), da det kan få det naturlige materiale til at udvidde sig og efterfølgende krympe.
Hvis du ved et uheld synes, du har vasket eller tørret tøjet for varmt, kan du prøve følgende metode for at genvinde den oprindelige størrelse og pasform. Selvom dette ikke er garanteret at virke, kan det hjælpe!
1. Læg tøjet i blød i koldt vand med en meget generøs portion stofbalsam, og lad den stå natten over.
2. Skyl derefter tøjet i frisk koldt vand, og mens du forsigtigt presser det overskydende vand ud, stræk tøjet i både bredden og længden så langt du kan.
3. Læg tøjet fladt på et håndklæde for at lade det tørre langsomt og træk løbende i det i begge retninger.

Questions about fit, styling and silhouette
Are you unsure about size, body shape or how to style your vintage-inspired jacket or coat? Here we have gathered the most important answers about fit, silhouette and vintage-inspired coats and jackets, so you can more easily find the style that suits you best.
A vintage-inspired jacket is a newly produced jacket with cuts and details inspired by historical fashion. At Mondo Kaos, many of our jackets reference especially the 1940s and 1950s, with defined waists, structured shoulders, swing cuts and cropped jacket styles.
No. Our jackets and coats are newly produced and vintage-inspired. This means you get the vintage look combined with modern sizing, materials and comfort.
Jackets in the 1940s were often structured and practical, with defined shoulders, a marked waist and relatively simple details. Tailored wool jackets, cropped jackets and military-inspired cuts were characteristic of the decade.
Coats from the 1950s often had more volume, softer shoulders and a focus on the waist. Swing coats and coats with princess seams were popular because they worked beautifully over full skirts and dresses.
A cropped bolero or tailored jacket works well with most vintage-inspired dresses because it keeps the waist visible. For dresses with a full skirt, a swing coat is also a beautiful choice.
A vintage-inspired blazer should fit well across the shoulders and ideally define the waist. It can be tailored, but it should not feel tight or pull across the buttons.
Yes. Vintage-inspired jackets work really well in a modern wardrobe. Try a tailored blazer with jeans and a T-shirt, or a cropped jacket with high-waisted trousers for a more subtle retro look.
