PARAJUMPERS Tilly - Black

Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific washing instructions. Generally, down jackets require gentle machine washing with a specialized down cleaner (not standard detergent) on a cold, delicate cycle. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft.

The 100% duck down filling provides excellent insulation for cold weather and is ideal for everyday use in autumn and winter. Its specific rating for extreme sub-zero temperatures is not provided, so for very harsh conditions, consider appropriate layering.

Yes, the iconic yellow tape at the neck closure is designed to be detachable.

The outer fabric has a water-repellent treatment, meaning it will shed light rain and snow effectively. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed to withstand heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet conditions.

'Down proof' refers to a tightly woven fabric designed to prevent the small, fine down feathers and clusters from escaping through the material, maintaining the jacket's insulation efficiency and integrity.

Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide hanger or loosely folded in a breathable garment bag. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to help maintain the down's loft.

No, ironing is not recommended for this jacket as it can damage the down filling and the outer fabric's water-repellent treatment. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed, the hood is adjusted snugly, and elastic cuffs and bottom are in place to seal in warmth. Check if the jacket is layered appropriately for the ambient temperature; for very cold conditions, additional base layers may be necessary. Also, ensure the down is evenly distributed and not clumped after washing/drying.

The water-repellent treatment can diminish over time with wear and washing. To restore it, ensure the jacket is clean and then apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product designed for outerwear, following the product manufacturer's instructions carefully. Ensure it is fully dry afterwards.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently free it. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper. If still sticking, carefully apply a zipper lubricant (such as a silicone-based spray or beeswax) to the teeth, avoiding contact with the fabric.

This is common for down jackets after washing. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean dryer balls (like tennis balls or specific down fluffing balls). The balls will help break up clumps and restore the down's loft. It may take several drying cycles, ensuring the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew.

While the fabric is 'down proof,' occasional small feather leakage can occur, especially with new jackets or if the fabric is snagged. Gently pull feathers back inside rather than pulling them out. If excessive, check for small tears or snags in the fabric that might need a repair patch. Ensure proper care during washing and drying to maintain fabric integrity.
