FAQs

Is the hood removable?

The hood is not removable, but it is designed to be packed away into the collar when not in use.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light snow and light rain well, but it is not waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.

How should I store this during summer?

Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a hanger to keep the down loft healthy.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket has a boxy, retro fit; if you prefer a slimmer feel, you may want to consider this when selecting your size.

Are the pockets zippered?

Yes, the hand pockets are zippered to ensure that items stay secure.

Troubleshooting

Down insulation feels clumpy after washing

Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters.

Water no longer beads off the surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivating or re-applying using a spray-on treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth with 700-fill down
  • Stylish, recognizable retro design
  • Packable, lightweight construction
  • Durable, water-repellent nylon material

Cons

  • Boxy fit may feel loose for some body types
  • Requires specific care for down insulation
  • Hood is lightweight and intended for light precipitation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your jacket performing at its best, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy downpours. When storing, try to avoid compressing the jacket under heavy items for long periods to preserve the loft of the down.

Cleaning Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for down products.
  2. Include clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-fluff the insulation during the drying process.
  3. Ensure the garment is completely dry to prevent odors and clumping of the feathers.
