FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it will shed light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and will not protect you in heavy downpours.

What kind of weather is this jacket best for?

This jacket is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, or mild winter days. It provides light warmth and protection against breezes and light rain.

Does the jacket have any internal pockets?

The product description mentions slanted welt side pockets. Internal pockets are not specified, so it is unlikely to have them.

What does 'recycled polyester padding' mean?

Recycled polyester padding is insulation made from recycled plastic materials, typically plastic bottles. It provides warmth while being a more environmentally friendly choice compared to virgin polyester.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket on a hanger in a cool, dry place to help maintain its shape and the integrity of the padding and outer fabric. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket features a 'regular fit'. For the best fit, it's recommended to refer to GANT's official size guide, if available, and compare your measurements.

Troubleshooting

Water isn't beading off the jacket as effectively as before.

The water-repellent finish may wear off over time or with repeated washing. Consider applying a fabric-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic materials. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application.

The zipper feels stiff or gets stuck occasionally.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is stiff, rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Do not force the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Jacket feels less warm or the padding seems unevenly distributed.

After washing, the padding can sometimes clump. Tumble dry on a low setting with a few clean tennis balls (or dryer balls) to help fluff and redistribute the recycled polyester padding evenly. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.

The press buttons on the cuffs or collar are difficult to fasten/unfasten.

Check if there's any debris or fabric obstructing the mechanism. Gently clean around the button. If they remain stiff, a tiny drop of silicone lubricant on the male part of the button can help, but wipe away any excess immediately to avoid staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This product requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility

This GANT jacket is designed for adult males and offers a regular fit, making it compatible with various body types. Its classic black color and design ensure it pairs well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from jeans and chinos to more tailored trousers. The above hip length makes it suitable for layering without hindering movement.

Care

Proper care will maintain your jacket's appearance and performance. As the shell and lining are 100% Polyester and the padding is 100% Recycled Polyester, follow these general guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry low, or preferably, hang dry to maintain shape and preserve the water-repellent finish. Avoid high heat.
  5. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Do not iron directly on any embellishments or logos.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Regular care helps maintain the water-repellent property and the integrity of the recycled polyester padding.
