FAQs
What is the difference between this and a standard Rider Jacket?
The 'Relaxed' fit offers a looser, more contemporary silhouette compared to the original, more fitted Rider Jacket. The 'Rekindle' refers to the specific faded black wash.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made from 100% cotton denim and is not waterproof. It offers protection from wind and light rain but is not designed for heavy precipitation.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. The jacket has a relaxed fit, so consider if you prefer a looser feel or a slightly more fitted look when choosing your size.
Can I wear this in summer?
While denim jackets can be warm, this is a medium-weight denim. It can be worn in cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned environments. For very hot weather, lighter fabrics would be more suitable.
How does the Rekindle wash age over time?
The Rekindle wash is designed to look vintage from the start. With wear and washing, it will continue to develop unique fades and character, becoming more personalized to you.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% cotton, 13oz denim.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or rigid.
This is normal for new 100% cotton denim. Wear the jacket frequently, and it will soften and conform to your body with time and wear. Washing it according to care instructions can also help expedite this process.
Color fading unevenly.
The Rekindle wash is designed for a faded effect. If you notice uneven fading beyond the intended design, ensure you are washing the garment inside out in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents or excessive bleaching.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure there is no denim caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed onto the teeth can help lubricate it.
