FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The main outer material is a blend of 70% polyester and 30% cotton twill, featuring a water-repellent finish.
How warm is this jacket?
The jacket is designed for winter, featuring a warm pile lining and quilt lining in the sleeves for insulation against cold temperatures.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
The jacket is categorized for men, but its classic pilot style and available size range (XS-4XL) may make it suitable for women as well. It is recommended to check the size chart for accurate fitting.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can withstand light rain or snow, but it is not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning to preserve the water repellency.
What kind of pockets are included?
It features a chest pocket with a D-ring, inner pockets, fleece-lined side pockets, a telephone pocket, and a sleeve pocket with a zipper and pen pockets.
Does the jacket offer protection from wind?
Yes, the high collar and rib-knit cuffs and waistband are designed to provide a snug fit that helps block out wind and cold.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
Reapply a suitable water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor fabrics. Ensure you followed the care instructions carefully, especially regarding detergent and fabric softener use.
Sleeves feel restrictive during movement.
Confirm you have the correct size. If the size is correct, ensure the jacket is not snagged on anything. The pre-bent sleeve design should allow for good mobility.
Pockets are not secure enough for small items.
Utilize the zippered pockets or the chest pocket with the D-ring for valuable or small items. Consider using a small pouch or organizer within larger pockets if needed.
