FAQs
What makes this parka different from other nylon jackets?
The Stone Island Short Parka uses a special brushed recycled nylon tela that offers a soft, cotton-like feel while maintaining nylon's durability. It's also garment-dyed with an anti-drop finish for enhanced water repellency.
How should I clean the jacket to preserve its properties?
It is recommended to hand wash cold with a neutral detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. For best results and to maintain the anti-drop finish, professional dry cleaning in hydrocarbons is advised.
Is this parka suitable for heavy rain?
The anti-drop finish provides good water repellency for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider additional waterproofing measures or a jacket specifically designed for severe weather.
Can I adjust the hood and hem?
Yes, the parka features drawcords on both the hood and the hem, allowing you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and cold.
What is the purpose of the Stone Island badge?
The badge on the left sleeve is an iconic symbol of the Stone Island brand, representing its heritage, design philosophy, and commitment to innovation in materials and dyeing techniques.
What does 'garment dyed' mean?
Garment dyeing means the finished product is dyed after it has been fully constructed. This technique often results in richer, more unique color variations and can contribute to the fabric's specific feel.
How does the recycled nylon material perform?
The recycled nylon offers comparable performance to virgin nylon in terms of durability and resistance, while providing a more sustainable option. The brushing treatment enhances its comfort.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can occur if the garment is not dried or ironed according to instructions. Ensure it is laid flat to dry away from direct heat and ironed gently with a cloth barrier at the recommended temperature.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The anti-drop finish can wear off over time with use and washing. Consider a professional re-treatment for garments or using a suitable water-repellent spray designed for technical fabrics, following product instructions carefully.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If it feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track. Clean the zipper teeth if they appear dirty.
Badge on sleeve is creased.
Iron the badge carefully on the reverse side with a cloth barrier at a low temperature. Avoid direct high heat which can damage the badge.
