FAQs
What is ripstop fabric?
Ripstop is a weaving technique that makes fabric more resistant to tearing and ripping. Threads are interwoven at regular intervals, creating a crosshatch pattern visible on close inspection. It's known for its strength-to-weight ratio.
Is this overshirt waterproof?
No, the Fred Perry Ripstop Pocket Overshirt is not waterproof. It is designed as a layering piece and offers some resistance to light wind and moisture but is not intended for heavy rain.
How should I determine my size?
The overshirt is a regular fit. We recommend consulting the product's size chart or ordering your usual size if you prefer a standard fit. If you prefer a slimmer fit, consider sizing down.
Can I wear this in warm weather?
Due to its ripstop polyamide construction, it's lightweight enough for cooler spring or autumn days, or as an outer layer in mild summer evenings. It may be too warm for very hot weather.
What does 'dual zip fastening' mean?
This refers to a zipper that can be opened from both the top and the bottom, allowing for adjustable ventilation and styling options.
What material is the embroidered Laurel Wreath made of?
The embroidered Laurel Wreath is typically made from polyester or similar synthetic threads, designed for durability and to maintain its shape and color over time.
Where are the 'side entry pockets' located?
These are typically found on the sides of the overshirt, often near the waist seam, providing a place to rest your hands or store smaller items.
Troubleshooting
Garment appears creased after washing
Iron on a low setting, focusing on the inside of the fabric. Ensure the garment is completely dry before ironing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
Fabric texture seems flattened
Ensure the garment is not over-dried in a machine dryer. Air drying can help preserve the texture. Gentle ironing on a low setting can also help restore some texture.
