Product Information
Full details
This GANT Hampshire Jacket is designed for men seeking a versatile outerwear option for transitional weather. Its primary benefit is providing lightweight, water-repellent protection without sacrificing comfort, thanks to its soft, peached recycled polyester and cotton blend. A minor caveat is that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment is most effective in light weather conditions. Key features include a front zip closure, stand-up collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, side welt pockets, two interior pockets, chest embroidery, and a branded locker loop.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the DWR treatment?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment helps the fabric shed water, causing light rain or moisture to bead up and roll off the surface, keeping you drier in light weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket is designed for transitional weather and light rain. The DWR treatment is effective in light precipitation but will not provide waterproof protection in heavy downpours.
How do I choose the correct size?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. Consider your typical layering needs when selecting a size.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
While it can be layered for warmth, this jacket is lightweight and primarily intended for mild or transitional weather. For colder conditions, it serves well as an outer layer over warmer garments.
What are the pocket configurations?
The jacket features two external side welt pockets and two internal pockets for convenient storage of personal items.
Is the jacket made entirely of recycled materials?
The jacket is made from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its water repellency?
Wash according to instructions (cold, mild detergent, no fabric softener) and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically to restore its water-shedding capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be replenished. Follow the care instructions for reapplication of a DWR finish.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax can help.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric
This can sometimes occur with blended fabrics. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying procedures. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Embroidery appears damaged
Avoid direct high heat when ironing and do not iron directly over the embroidered area. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim loose threads with small scissors.
