FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the stretch panelling?

The stretch panelling is strategically placed in key movement areas to provide excellent comfort and flexibility, allowing for a full range of motion during work activities.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The shell fabric is Kingsmill Polycotton Eco, made of 65% Recycled Polyester and 35% Cotton. The contrast fabric (stretch panelling) is Kingsmill Polyester Stretch Eco, composed of 93% Recycled Polyester and 7% Elastane.

How do I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at a maximum temperature of 60°C (140°F) with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on medium and iron on a low setting.

Does the jacket offer sun protection?

Yes, the fabric is rated UPF 40+, which means it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.

How many pockets does the jacket have and what type?

The jacket features a total of four pockets: one chest pocket with a zip closure and two side zip pockets for secure storage. There is also typically an internal pocket, depending on the exact model variation.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket offers protection against the elements with a storm flap, but it is not rated as fully waterproof. It is designed for general workwear and protection against wind and light rain.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific product listing is for a Blue - L size. The Portwest CD885 WX2 Eco Stretch Work Jacket is available in various sizes (S-XXXL) and potentially other colors, which can be found under different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's caught on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive despite being the correct size.

Ensure all adjustment points (hem drawcord, cuffs) are loosened. The stretch panelling should provide flexibility; if it still feels overly restrictive, consider if a larger size or different fit is needed.

Seam or stitching appears to be coming undone.

For minor snags, carefully trim any loose threads. If a seam is significantly compromised, it may require professional repair or replacement.

Fabric feels less water-resistant after washing.

Ensure no fabric softeners were used, as they can affect water repellency. For enhanced performance, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for polyester blends after washing and drying according to product instructions.
