Polo Ralph Lauren Windbreaker Harrington Jacket - Blue - Polyester

No, the Polo Ralph Lauren Windbreaker Harrington Jacket is designed primarily for wind resistance. While the polyester material offers some protection against very light moisture, it is not waterproof and is not intended for heavy rain.

Bi-swing construction refers to a design feature in the back of the jacket, typically involving pleats or gussets, that allows for an increased range of motion in the shoulders and arms. This enhances comfort and flexibility, especially when moving actively.

This jacket is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, as well as cooler summer evenings. It provides effective wind protection without being too heavy or bulky.

Generally, 100% polyester jackets should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dried on low heat. Always check the specific care label inside your jacket for the most accurate instructions.

The jacket features a 'Regular Fit'. We recommend consulting the Polo Ralph Lauren sizing chart for the most accurate measurements. If you plan to layer heavily, you might consider sizing up.

It is generally not recommended to iron polyester directly with high heat, as it can damage the fabric. If wrinkles occur, try steaming the jacket on a low setting or hanging it in a steamy bathroom to relax the fibers.

Ensure you're using a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and remove promptly. If wrinkles persist, try steaming the garment on a low setting or hanging it in a steamy bathroom, as direct ironing can damage polyester.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric free. If it's still sticking, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Handle with care, especially around the embroidered area. If a thread is loose, avoid pulling it. You may be able to carefully trim it with small scissors. For more significant damage, consider professional alteration or repair.

This jacket is designed as a windbreaker and light outerwear. For colder conditions, it's intended to be layered over warmer clothing like sweaters or fleece. It is not designed as a primary insulating layer.
