FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for mild to cool weather conditions, offering protection from light rain and wind. It is particularly suitable for transitional seasons like spring and autumn.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps shed water in light weather conditions. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy rain.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a lightweight organic cotton twill.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its DWR treatment?
Machine wash inside out with similar colors on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. Avoid bleach.
Does the jacket have pockets?
Yes, it features side welt pockets with hidden press buttons and two interior jetted pockets.
What is the fit of the jacket?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit and includes a partially elasticated hem for enhanced comfort.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
While it offers some warmth due to its half-lining, it is primarily designed for milder conditions. For very cold weather, it is best layered over additional warm clothing.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need reactivation. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. If performance has significantly degraded, consider applying a DWR re-proofer according to the product's instructions.
Jacket feels less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue that could clog the fabric's pores. Follow the recommended washing instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
