FAQs

What is the fit like?
The Frankie Half Zip features a regular fit, meaning it is true to size and designed for comfortable, everyday wear.
Can I wear this under a coat?
Yes, its moderate bulk makes it an excellent mid-layer for wearing under larger winter jackets or waterproof shells.
Does it have side pockets?
No, it features a single, convenient zipped chest pocket for small item storage.
What are the poplin panels for?
The poplin panels are included to add extra protection and durability in high-wear areas of the garment.
Troubleshooting

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider running a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature, ideally on a gentle cycle to preserve the fleece texture.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to prevent the fabric from losing its shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Layering: Wear over a moisture-wicking base layer for the best performance in damp conditions.
- Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to avoid permanent creasing of the poplin panels.
