Tommy Jeans Essential Down Jacket - Blue

No, the Tommy Jeans Essential Down Jacket features a water-repellent outer shell, which means it will repel light rain and moisture, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, turning the jacket inside out. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a gentle cycle with 3 clean tennis balls to help re-loft the down. Make sure it's completely dry before storing.

The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is a certification that ensures down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm. This means the geese and ducks are treated humanely, without force-feeding or live-plucking.

The jacket provides exceptional warmth with its premium down insulation and high collar, making it suitable for cold conditions. While it is very warm, specific temperature ratings are not provided. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider layering appropriately or consulting a guide for specialist cold-weather gear.

Using recycled polyester means the fabric is made from repurposed plastic materials, such as plastic bottles. This reduces waste and conserves resources compared to producing new polyester, making the jacket a more sustainable choice.

Tennis balls help to break up any clumps that the down insulation might form during washing. This redistributes the down evenly throughout the jacket and helps restore its natural loft and insulating properties, ensuring it remains warm and fluffy.

This is common for down jackets if not dried properly. Tumble dry again on a gentle cycle with 3 clean tennis balls. The tennis balls help re-fluff and redistribute the down, restoring its insulating properties. Ensure the jacket is completely dry.

The water-repellent coating can wear off or become less effective with use and washing. You can restore it by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before application, following the DWR product's instructions.

A small amount of down leakage is normal for down-filled garments, especially when new. If it's excessive, check for small tears or punctures in the fabric. For minor leaks, gently pull feathers back inside. If a hole is present, a fabric repair patch designed for technical outerwear can be used.
