Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% organic cotton twill for the shell and 100% cotton for the upper back lining.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and drizzle. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours.

How do I choose the correct size?

The jacket is designed in a regular fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit for your body.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What does 'half-lined' mean?

Half-lined means that only a portion of the jacket's interior (typically the upper back and shoulders) is lined. This provides some warmth and comfort without adding excessive bulk or heat, making it ideal for milder weather.

Are the pockets secure?

The side welt pockets have hidden press buttons for closure, offering security for small items. The interior pockets are typically zippered for added safety.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners during washing. You can reapply waterproofing treatments periodically as the original finish wears off with use and washing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a waterproofing spray or wash designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean before application.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels too loose or baggy

While designed for a regular fit, you can adjust the partly elasticated hem and buttoned cuffs for a more snug silhouette. If the fit is significantly off, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate.

Embroidery appears damaged

Avoid direct high heat when ironing. If the threads are loose, carefully trim any stray ends with sharp scissors. For significant damage, professional repair might be needed.
