FAQs
What is ripstop fabric?
Ripstop fabric is a weaving technique that uses a reinforcement thread in a crosshatch pattern. This makes the fabric exceptionally resistant to tearing and ripping.
How do I determine my correct size?
The overshirt features a regular fit. Refer to a standard sizing chart for men's apparel, considering your chest and waist measurements. The product description notes to 'take your usual size'.
Can this overshirt be worn in wet weather?
While the ripstop polyamide offers some resistance, it is not waterproof. It is suitable for light rain or drizzle but not for heavy downpours.
What are the pocket closures?
The two chest patch pockets are secured with press-stud fastenings.
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
This overshirt is lightweight and designed for layering. It provides some warmth but is best suited for mild to cool conditions when worn on its own, or as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in colder weather.
What is the material made from?
The overshirt is made from 100% recycled Polyamide Ripstop.
How should I care for the embroidered logo?
To preserve the embroidery, avoid direct heat during ironing. Washing on a gentle cycle and air drying are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
While ripstop is resistant, avoid sharp objects. If a minor snag occurs, do not pull at it. Professional repair or a small stitch may be considered for larger snags.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Embroidered logo is damaged
Avoid direct ironing on the embroidery. If loose threads appear, carefully snip them with small scissors or seek professional garment repair.
