FAQs

Is the Celine Softshell Jacket truly waterproof?

The jacket is described as water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and moisture effectively. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy downpours.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The jacket is designed with a tailored fit for a flattering look. Refer to standard women's UK dress sizing guides to find your equivalent. The fitted silhouette should be snug but comfortable, allowing for movement.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

While the soft-shell fabric is breathable, the jacket is intended as a protective layer. It may be too warm for very hot weather but is suitable for cooler or transitional seasons.

What is the best way to wash the jacket?

Wash inside out at 30 degrees on a delicate cold wash cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach or iron. A specialized technical wash is recommended for best results.

Can the hood be removed completely?

Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it when it's not needed for a cleaner look or to prevent it from getting in the way.

What does 'bonded outer shell' mean?

A bonded outer shell typically means that the fabric layers are fused together, often creating a more durable and structured material that enhances water resistance and wind protection.

Are there other colors available?

This guide focuses on the Blue variant. The Celine Softshell Jacket is also available in other colors, such as Black, which can be found through the brand's product listings.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance is decreasing

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softener. Consider using a re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Jacket feels less breathable

Over time, dirt and residue can clog the fabric's pores. Ensure the jacket is washed correctly, inside out, and with a suitable detergent. Avoid over-washing.
