FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece jacket?
The jacket is designed to provide warmth and comfort, making it suitable for outdoor activities like equestrian pursuits, walking, or as a casual everyday layer.
Is the jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It offers warmth and breathability but should be paired with a waterproof outer layer for protection against rain.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does '275gsm' mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which is a measure of the fabric's density and weight. 275gsm indicates a mid-weight fleece that provides good warmth without being overly heavy.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in very cold weather, but it is best used as a layering piece. Wear it over a base layer and under a windproof or waterproof jacket for maximum warmth and protection.
Does the jacket have an adjustable hem or cuffs?
The product description does not mention adjustable hem or cuffs. It features a full-length front zip and two zipped hand pockets.
What is the fit like?
The jacket is designed in a slightly fitted shape for a flattering appearance and a trim, functional fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or catching.
Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut on either side. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Fleece feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you have avoided fabric softener. Try an extra rinse cycle. Consider using a specialized fleece wash if the issue persists over time.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) on the fabric surface.
This is a natural occurrence with fleece over time, especially with friction. You can carefully remove minor pilling with a fabric shaver, but avoid over-shaving.
