Gorham Sparkly Padded Jacket - Polo Ralph Lauren - Black - M

No, the hood is detachable via a zip fastening, allowing you to remove it for a different look or when not needed.

The main fabric of the jacket is 100% polyester, with a 100% polyamide lining. The padding consists of 75% down and 25% feather.

Always refer to the specific care label on your jacket. Generally, down jackets require delicate machine washing with a specialized down detergent and thorough tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft.

> Info needed: The product description does not explicitly state that the jacket is waterproof. While the polyester outer fabric may offer some water resistance, it is not described as fully waterproof.

Yes, the jacket features two front zipped pockets and an additional inside pocket, providing ample and secure storage for your essentials.

Yes, the jacket includes adjustable hook-and-loop tabs on the elasticated cuffs and a drawstring at the hem, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and warmth.

This is often due to down clumping. Re-dry the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Check periodically and manually fluff the down to redistribute it evenly. Ensure it's completely dry before storing.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently pull it free. If the zipper is stiff, rub a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax) along the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

It's normal for a small amount of down/feathers to escape from a padded jacket over time. If it's excessive, check for small tears in the fabric and consider using a fabric patch. Avoid pulling feathers out, as this can create larger openings; instead, push them back in.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing or exposure to moisture. If an odor persists, a re-wash with a specialized down cleaner and thorough drying with dryer balls should resolve it. Avoid storing the jacket when damp.
