Full details
The GANT Lightweight Hampshire Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile outerwear piece for transitional weather. Its key benefit is providing a lightweight, water-repellent layer made from a comfortable, peached recycled polyester and cotton blend. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring an oversized or very slim silhouette. Key features include a water-repellent shell, a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, a front zip closure, stand-up collar, rib detailing, practical welt and interior pockets, and signature GANT branding.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for transitional weather, such as spring and autumn, or cool summer evenings. It offers protection against light rain and wind.
Is the jacket truly waterproof?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, making it water-repellent, not waterproof. It is designed to shed water in light weather conditions.
What material is the jacket made from?
It is made from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, which gives it a soft, peached feel.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket is fitted with two interior pockets for secure storage in addition to the two side welt pockets.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?
Regular fit indicates a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, designed for comfortable everyday wear.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
This jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for transitional seasons. It does not offer significant insulation for very cold winter weather and would likely require layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outerwear, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric and its properties. Try air drying instead of tumble drying on high heat. A gentle tumble dry on low heat can sometimes restore softness.
