FAQs
What material is the Dixie Midi Coat made from?
The coat is made from 55% Polyester (Recycled Fibres) and 45% Polyester. It features a faux fur trim on the hood.
Is the faux fur hood removable?
Yes, the faux fur hood is detachable, offering flexibility in styling the coat.
How do I wash the coat to prevent damage?
The coat requires a delicate machine wash. Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors. Do not tumble dry; air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear this coat in heavy rain?
The Dixie coat is made from showerproof material, which offers protection against light rain. It is not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged or heavy downpours.
How does the elastic belt help with fit?
The ruched elastic belt is designed to be cinched at the waist, creating a more defined shape and preventing the puffer style from appearing too voluminous. It allows for an adjustable and flattering fit.
What does 'recycled fibres' mean in the material composition?
It means that a portion of the polyester used in the coat's fabric has been sourced from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
What temperature is this coat best suited for?
This coat is an essential for the colder months, offering good insulation. It is suitable for cool to moderately cold weather, with the hood and zip/button fastening providing extra warmth.
Troubleshooting
Coat feels bulky or shapeless.
Ensure the ruched elastic belt is properly adjusted and cinched to create definition. If the belt is too loose, the coat may lose its intended silhouette.
Water is seeping through the material during rain.
The coat is showerproof, not waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, consider a more robust waterproof outer layer. The showerproof treatment may also diminish over time; consider reapplying a suitable fabric protector if needed.
Faux fur hood looks matted after washing.
Gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush or comb after the coat has completely air-dried. Avoid excessive heat or tumble drying, which can damage the faux fur.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a small amount of wax.
