Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the material waterproof?
The nylon material is water-resistant, providing protection against light rain and snow, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
We strongly advise against machine washing. Always refer to the internal care label or consult a professional cleaner to prevent damage to the down insulation.
How do I detach the sleeves properly?
Locate the zippers at the armholes, fully unzip them, and carefully remove the sleeves. Store them together in a garment bag to prevent loss.
What is the primary benefit of the drawstring waist?
The drawstring allows you to cinch the hem, which helps trap body heat and creates a more fitted, aesthetic silhouette.
Where is this garment manufactured?
This jacket is proudly made in Italy, reflecting Prada's high standards of luxury manufacturing.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket is designed for a standard fit with a cropped length. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider how the silhouette fits your preferred styling.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels difficult to operate
Check the track for loose threads or lint and ensure the internal fabric flap is not caught in the teeth.
Down feathers starting to poke through fabric
Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, which can enlarge the puncture hole.
Jacket lost its shape or puffiness
Shake the jacket firmly to redistribute the down fill, or hang it in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours to allow the feathers to regain their loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the down filling and delicate nylon, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid home machine washing to prevent clumping of the down insulation.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it under heavy clothing for extended periods, as this can affect the loft and insulation effectiveness.
- Hardware Care: Keep the zippers and snap-buttons free of debris. If a zipper feels stiff, apply a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant to the track.
- Handling Sleeves: When detaching the sleeves, ensure the zippers are fully unzipped before pulling them away to prevent fabric snagging or damage to the zipper teeth.
