What season is this coat most suitable for?
This Roman Checkered Padded Coat is primarily designed for Autumn and milder Winter conditions, providing comfortable warmth without being overly heavy.

The coat is designed to run true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size. Refer to Roman's official sizing chart for precise measurements if available.
What is the material of the coat?
The Roman Checkered Red Padded Coat is made from 100% Polyester, offering durability and warmth.
Does this coat have a hood?
No, this specific Roman Checkered Red Padded Coat does not feature a hood.
How should I store the coat during off-season?
To maintain its shape and padding, store the coat on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Ensure it's clean before storing to prevent odors or damage.
Troubleshooting
Coat appears flat or lost puffiness after washing
Gently pat and fluff the coat while it's drying to redistribute the padding. If the care label permits, a few clean tennis balls in the dryer on a low, tumble-dry cycle can help restore volume.
Stubborn stain on the fabric
Address stains promptly. For most polyester, a mild stain remover (test on an inconspicuous area first) or a solution of gentle detergent and water can be dabbed on the stain, then gently rinsed according to general washing instructions.
Coat feels too warm indoors
This coat is designed for cooler outdoor temperatures. If you're indoors for extended periods, consider unbuttoning or removing the coat to prevent overheating, as it's meant to retain warmth.
Loose thread or minor seam issue
For small issues, carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. For minor seam separations, a needle and matching thread can often provide a quick and effective repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care\n\n### Setup\nAs a coat, there's no specific 'setup' required. Simply wear it over your chosen outfit. Ensure you select the correct size as it is designed to be true to size for a comfortable `regular fit`.\n\n### Compatibility\nThis coat's classic checkered pattern and red color family make it a versatile addition to an Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

Always refer to the garment's internal care label for specific instructions, as these can vary. General care tips for polyester padded coats include:\n- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.\n- Drying: Do not tumble dry on high heat. Air dry flat to help maintain the coat's shape and padding. Gently pat and fluff the coat periodically as it dries to redistribute the filling and restore puffiness. If machine drying is permitted on a very low heat, adding clean tennis balls can assist in fluffing.\n- Storage: Store on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain its shape.\n- Ironing: Avoid direct ironing. If necessary, use a very low heat setting with a protective cloth, or use a steamer from a distance.
