Full details
The Flotte Archives waterproof jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and urban commuters who require reliable weather protection without compromising on classic aesthetic appeal. Inspired by traditional hunting jacket silhouettes, it offers superior defense against the elements through heat-taped seams and a high-quality polyester build, though its mid-length cut may feel slightly restrictive during high-intensity athletic activities.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle, but avoid high heat and bleach to protect the waterproof features.
Does the hood provide full head coverage?
Yes, the hood is designed to provide full coverage and can be detached when not in use.
What does OEKO-TEX Standard 100 mean?
It means the textile has been rigorously tested for harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.
Is the jacket breathable?
While it is designed for water protection, the material is polyester-based; for high-exertion activities, we recommend layering appropriately.
Can I adjust the fit of the sleeves?
Yes, the cuffs are adjustable, and the sleeves can be rolled up to reveal a decorative print.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The outer DWR coating may be wearing off. Re-apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray to restore the 'beading' effect.
Press-studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the fabric underneath is pulled taut and clear of obstruction. Avoid pulling on the fabric itself; apply pressure directly to the stud mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof integrity, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle at low temperatures. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the water-repellent coating. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources. Because the piece is constructed from durable polyester, it is easy to maintain; for minor surface dirt, a simple wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient. Ensure the detachable hood is securely snapped into place before heading out into inclement weather to maximize coverage.
