Product Information
Full details
The GANT Hampshire Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and practical outerwear option for transitional weather. Its key benefit is providing lightweight, water-repellent protection with a soft feel, thanks to its recycled polyester and cotton blend. A potential caveat is that its water repellency is best suited for light showers, not heavy rain. This jacket features a regular fit, front zip closure, stand-up collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, side welt pockets, and two interior pockets for added functionality. It is finished with embroidered branding and a signature locker loop.

How should I care for my Hampshire Jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Iron on a low heat if needed. For best results and to maintain the water-repellent treatment, consider dry cleaning.
What does 'peached feel' mean?

Troubleshooting
Jacket does not feel water-repellent.
The water repellency is designed for light showers. For heavy rain, a more robust waterproof jacket is recommended. The DWR treatment may also diminish over time; reapplication of a DWR spray can restore its effectiveness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of wax or lip balm to the zipper teeth can help smoothen its operation.
Jacket feels too cool for the weather.
This is a lightweight jacket designed for transitional weather. For colder temperatures, layer it over a warmer garment such as a fleece or sweater.
Ribbed cuffs are stretching out.
Avoid excessive stretching of the cuffs. If they become loose, follow the care instructions for washing, as this may help them regain some shape. For significant stretching, professional repair may be needed.
