FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light moisture like mist or drizzle. It is not waterproof and will not provide protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
What kind of weather is this jacket best for?
This jacket is ideal for cool to mild weather with windy conditions where breathability is important, such as spring or autumn.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Blaklader for accurate measurements. The jacket is designed for adult males.
Can I wear this jacket over other clothing?
Yes, it is designed to be worn as an outer layer. You can wear a t-shirt or a light long-sleeved shirt underneath. For colder weather, consider a warmer mid-layer.
How durable is the zipper?
The jacket features a one-way plastic zipper. While functional, plastic zippers may be less durable than metal zippers over extensive use.
Can the fleece-lined collar be removed?

Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight
Adjust the drawstring hem and Velcro sleeve ends for a better fit. Consider layering with thinner base layers.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or wax if it continues to stick.
Reduced water repellency
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a fabric-specific DWR treatment after washing, following product instructions.
Pockets feel insufficient
Utilize the chest, front, and inner pockets for organization. For larger items, consider pairing with a tool belt or a separate bag.
