FAQs

What is the primary material composition of this fleece jacket?

The jacket is crafted from 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester.

What does 'Marl and Peached Symmetry Fleece' mean?

It refers to the fabric's construction: 'Marl' suggests a heathered or mixed-yarn appearance, 'Peached' indicates a soft, velvety feel achieved through sanding, and 'Symmetry Fleece' likely denotes the specific type of fleece used. It has one side that is anti-pill and the other brushed.

How should I determine the correct size?

Refer to the product's size chart. For this jacket, size S corresponds to a 38-inch chest measurement.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather as an outer layer?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to wear it under a more protective outer shell like a waterproof or insulated jacket.

Can I machine wash and dry this fleece?

Yes, it is generally machine washable on a cool cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat and fabric softeners.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric weight is 170gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a lightweight feel.

Does the jacket have pockets?

The provided product information does not specify the presence of pockets. Please refer to product images or consult the retailer for details on pocket configuration.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels slightly stiff after washing.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can stiffen fleece. Air drying or low heat tumble drying can also help restore softness. Gentle brushing of the fabric might also help.

Zipper is catching or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any loose threads caught in the zipper track and carefully remove them. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat.

The jacket appears to have shrunk.

Verify that the jacket was not washed or dried on high heat settings. If shrinkage has occurred, it may require stretching the damp fabric gently back into shape and air drying.

Outer surface looks a bit matted.

This might be due to friction or static. A light brushing with a soft garment brush or a low heat tumble dry (if safe for the fabric) can help to lift the fibers.

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and outdoor use.
  • Provides effective warmth as a mid-layer.

Cons

  • May require checking size chart carefully due to specific fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility:

  • Layering: Designed to be worn as a mid-layer. It is compatible with various outer shells (waterproof jackets, windbreakers) and base layers (t-shirts, thermal tops).
  • Activity: Suitable for a wide range of casual and light outdoor activities.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. It is recommended to wash at 30 degrees Celsius (or follow the care label instructions).
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can affect the fabric's properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat which can damage the fleece.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not typically require ironing.
  • Pilling: While the fabric has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can still lead to minor pilling. Washing inside out can help minimize this.
