Lyle & Scott Jacket - Grey - 40

The jacket is made from 100% Nylon, which offers some natural water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.

The wadded construction provides warmth, making it suitable for cool to mild winter days. For colder temperatures, it functions excellent as a mid-layer under a heavier, waterproof outer shell. It is not designed as a primary severe winter coat.

Always follow the delicate wash cycle at 30 degrees Celsius and avoid tumble drying. Line drying in shade is crucial. Gently shake the jacket occasionally as it dries to help redistribute the wadding evenly and prevent clumping.

'Ripstop' refers to a woven fabric that uses a special reinforcing technique, making it resistant to tearing and ripping. If a small hole or tear occurs, the ripstop weave prevents it from spreading further.

This specific jacket is a men's UK size 40. For detailed measurements and to ensure the best fit, please refer to the official Lyle & Scott size guide if available, as sizing can vary between brands.

Ironing instructions are not explicitly provided in the care label. To be safe, it's generally best to avoid ironing nylon jackets to prevent melting or damaging the fabric. If absolutely necessary, use the lowest heat setting and place a thin cloth between the iron and the jacket, or use a steamer from a distance.

The outer fabric and lining are both 100% Nylon. The wadding is 100% Polyester, and the trims are 98% Polyester, 2% Elastane.

After delicate machine washing, line dry the jacket in shade. Gently shake it out and smooth the fabric by hand before hanging to reduce wrinkles. Avoid tumble drying as it can worsen creasing and damage the wadding.

Check if any fabric or thread is caught in the snap mechanism. If the snap itself is bent or damaged, professional repair may be needed. Ensure fasteners are closed before washing to prevent strain.

The wadded jacket is designed for layering. For colder conditions, wear appropriate thermal base layers underneath. This jacket provides insulation but is not intended for extreme cold as a standalone outer layer.

While ripstop fabric minimizes tears, it's not indestructible. For small snags, carefully trim any loose threads. For minor tears, consider using a fabric repair patch designed for nylon or seek professional tailoring to prevent further damage.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it. Line drying in shade allows for good air circulation. If the smell persists, re-wash on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent and ensure thorough drying.
