FAQs

Is the hood permanently attached?

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

What is the primary material of the jacket?

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

How should I clean the jacket?

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.

Is this jacket waterproof?

> 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.

Are there enough pockets for storage?

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

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

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.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels flat or loses its warmth after washing.

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.

Zipper snags or gets stuck.

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.

Small feathers are coming out of the fabric.

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.

Jacket develops an odor after getting wet.

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.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the loft, warmth, and lifespan of your down and feather-padded jacket. Always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for the most accurate guidance. General care tips for down jackets often include:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water, using a specialized down detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore loft. Drying can take several hours, and the jacket must be completely dry to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it on a thin hanger for extended periods, as this can affect the down distribution. For long-term storage, a breathable garment bag is ideal.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small stains, gently spot clean with a mild soap and damp cloth.
  • Professional Cleaning: Consider professional dry cleaning for stubborn stains or if you're unsure about home washing.
