FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is unlined and designed for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.
What does OEKO-TEX MADE IN GREEN certification mean?
It means the product is certified by OEKO-TEX for being tested for harmful substances, produced in environmentally friendly facilities, and manufactured under socially responsible working conditions. It also guarantees traceability.
How should I clean the jacket if I don't have access to industrial laundry?
You can machine wash the jacket at a moderate temperature (e.g., 60°C/140°F) and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Do not use fabric softeners.
Can the reflective details be washed off?
The reflective details are designed to be durable through industrial washing. To maintain their integrity, follow the recommended care instructions carefully, especially regarding heat and harsh chemicals.
Is there a men's version of this jacket?
Yes, Blaklader offers a comparable men's model in their industrial collection.
What is the main benefit of the 2-way stretch fabric?
The 2-way stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement in all directions, making it comfortable and practical for physically demanding work.
What material is the jacket made from?
The main material is a twill fabric composed of 63% polyester, 33% cotton, and 4% elastolefin, providing both durability and stretch.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket features an adjustable waistline and sleeve ends; try adjusting these for a better fit. If still restrictive, consider if a larger size is needed for your specific movements.
Reflective details are not very visible.
Ensure the reflective areas are clean and free from dirt or debris. The effectiveness of reflective tape depends on light hitting it directly; low-light conditions are when it is most beneficial.
Jacket shows signs of wear after industrial washing.
Confirm that the industrial laundry process adheres to the EN ISO 15797 standards and that detergents and temperatures are appropriate for the fabric composition (63% polyester, 33% cotton, 4% elastolefin). Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If the zipper feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and operate it gently several times.
