FAQs
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a delicate or hand-wash cycle with cool water to protect the linen fibers and the lining.
Can this be worn in the rain?
Linen is not water-resistant. While it will withstand light humidity, it is not designed to be worn as a primary rain jacket.
Is the jacket true to size?
It follows standard sizing for women's outerwear. If you plan to layer it over thick sweaters, you may consider sizing up for more comfort.
What is the primary material?
The jacket is made from linen, which is known for its durability, breathability, and natural texture.
Does the brown color fade easily?
To preserve the color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and always wash the garment inside out.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are standard utility size, suitable for keys, cards, or small personal items, though they may not accommodate larger modern smartphones securely.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after sitting or storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to allow the fibers to relax.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Run a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of clear wax along the teeth of the zipper to improve smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket stays in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always check the internal garment care label. Generally, linen should be washed on a gentle, cool cycle or hand-washed to prevent shrinkage.
- Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying. Air drying on a hanger helps maintain the shape and reduces the need for heavy ironing.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples and keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the brown dye.
- Compatibility: This jacket pairs exceptionally well with cotton basics, denim, and chinos, making it a highly compatible addition to any smart-casual closet.
