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.
