Full details
The GANT Hampshire Jacket is designed for men seeking a versatile outerwear option for transitional weather. Its key benefit is providing lightweight, water-repellent protection with a comfortable, peached feel. A potential consideration is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring an oversized or very slim silhouette. This jacket features a recycled polyester and cotton blend, a front zip closure, stand-up collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, side welt pockets, and interior pockets, all enhanced by a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment and subtle branding.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for transitional weather, such as spring and autumn, offering protection against light rain and wind.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish (DWR treatment), which helps shed water in light conditions. It is not designed for heavy rain.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, providing a soft, peached feel.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its water repellency?
Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low or hang dry. Reapply a DWR spray periodically to restore water repellency.
Does the jacket have many pockets?
Yes, it features two side welt pockets for external storage and two interior pockets for securing personal items.
What does 'peached feel' mean?
A 'peached feel' refers to a finishing process that gives the fabric a soft, velvety texture, similar to the skin of a peach.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
While it can be layered, the jacket itself provides lightweight protection and is not heavily insulated, making it best for mild to cool temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying according to product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear obstructions. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the teeth can help lubricate it.
Fabric feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a gentle wash cycle. Avoid high heat when drying; air drying or low heat tumble drying is recommended.
Embroidery is damaged.
Avoid direct high heat ironing on the embroidery. If damaged, professional repair may be necessary.
