FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for transitional seasons and mild weather, offering protection against light rain and wind due to its water-repellent shell.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The shell is made from a blend of 83% recycled polyester and 17% cotton, while the lining is 100% recycled polyester.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean. Wash with fasteners closed.
Does the jacket have many pockets?
Yes, it features practical side welt pockets and two interior pockets for secure storage.
Is the jacket suitable for cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and designed for mild temperatures. It can be layered for added warmth but does not provide significant insulation for very cold conditions.
How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?
The water-repellent treatment can be reapplied periodically, especially after washing, using appropriate DWR sprays or wash-in treatments to maintain its effectiveness.
What does 'peached' refer to in the material description?
'Peached' refers to a finishing process that gives the fabric a soft, fuzzy texture similar to that of a peach skin.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have diminished. Consider reapplying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
Jacket feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness. Avoid over-drying.
