FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

The bomber's exterior is made of 85% polyester and 15% cotton, offering good resistance to wind and light moisture. While it provides excellent protection against snow and cold, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy rain. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable. This feature allows for versatility, enabling you to remove it on warmer days or when your child prefers not to wear it.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

The bomber has a slim fit. We recommend referring to the brand's specific sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length. Consider your child's height and weight, and if they are between sizes or prefer a looser fit for layering, it might be advisable to size up.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is ideal for a wide range of winter activities, including everyday wear to school, playing outdoors in cold weather, and winter sports like skiing or snowboarding. Its extreme cold protection makes it highly versatile.

How do I clean the sheep shearling trim?

The entire jacket, including the shearling trim, requires professional dry cleaning. For minor spots on the shearling, you can gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Once dry, a soft brush can help restore its texture. Do not machine wash or tumble dry any part of the jacket.

Will the down filling shift or clump over time?

High-quality down jackets like this one are designed with internal baffling to minimize down shifting. However, over extended periods of wear and especially with improper cleaning, some shifting can occur. Professional dry cleaning helps maintain the down's loft and distribution.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

The bomber features a slim fit. Ensure the correct size was chosen based on the child's measurements. If layering heavily, consider sizing up. Avoid overly bulky sweaters underneath to maintain comfort and mobility.

Shearling trim appears matted or stiff

If the shearling gets wet, allow it to air dry completely. Once dry, you can gently brush it with a soft-bristled brush (like a pet brush or a fine-toothed comb) to restore its fluffiness and texture. Avoid aggressive brushing or pulling.

Jacket seems less warm than expected

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can compromise down's insulating properties. Also, check that the front zipper is fully closed and the ribbed cuffs and waistband are snug to prevent cold air entry. If it's heavily worn, a professional dry cleaning might rejuvenate the down's loft.

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate

Gently check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully pull it free. For stiff zippers, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil rub or specialized wax) can improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Shearling Bomber involves understanding its compatibility and following proper care instructions.

Sizing and Compatibility

This bomber is designed for juniors (kids age group) and is a unisex garment, suitable for both boys and girls. It comes in various children's sizes, such as UK 7-8 and 9-10. Always refer to the specific size chart provided by the retailer for the best fit, as the slim fit means it's designed to be snug. Consider your child's typical layering habits when choosing a size.

First Use

Upon receiving the bomber, gently shake it to help fluff the down filling, which may have compressed during shipping. Ensure all zippers and snaps function smoothly.

Care Instructions: Dry Clean Only

The most critical care instruction for your Shearling Bomber is to dry clean only. This specialized garment contains duck down, feathers, and sheep shearling, which require professional cleaning methods to maintain their insulation properties, fabric integrity, and luxurious appearance. Avoid machine washing, hand washing, or tumble drying, as these methods can damage the down filling, shrink the shearling, and alter the jacket's shape and performance.

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor surface dirt, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively, especially on the shearling.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the bomber in a cool, dry place, preferably hung on a wide hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can flatten the down.
  • Drying Wet Fur: If the shearling trim gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. You can gently brush it with a soft brush once dry to restore its fluffiness.
