FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is made of cotton and is designed for general everyday wear. While it can handle light mist, it is not a technical waterproof garment and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
Does the XXL size fit true to size?
The jacket follows a regular fit, meaning it is designed to be comfortable and allows for light layering, typical of standard adult sizing.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Please consult the interior care tag; generally, items with waxed-style features or specific structured collars are best spot-cleaned or professionally dry-cleaned.
What are the ventilation eyelets for?
These metal eyelets under the arms facilitate airflow, helping to regulate your body temperature while preventing excess heat buildup during movement.
Is the hood detachable?
This model does not include a hood; it focuses on the classic barn jacket collar design.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth to lubricate the zipper track.
Snap buttons feel loose
Check for fabric debris inside the button cap; gently remove any obstructions to ensure a clean, secure snap closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket features specific hardware like brass-style zippers and snaps, ensure you handle these components with care to maintain their smooth operation. For cleaning, check the internal care label for specific instructions; cotton garments generally benefit from gentle washing or professional cleaning to preserve the texture and color. Always hang the jacket on a broad, shaped hanger when not in use to maintain the structure of the corduroy collar and shoulders. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before placing it in a long-term storage bag to prevent moisture-related damage to the natural fabric.
