FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Regatta Frankie fleece is best suited for mild to cool weather. It's excellent as a layering piece in colder conditions or as a standalone jacket on crisp autumn days or cool spring evenings.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made from microfleece and is not waterproof. It offers warmth and breathability but will not protect you from heavy rain. It can be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided in the product details. For example, a UK size 10 corresponds to a 34-inch chest measurement. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can this jacket be worn by men?
This specific model, the Regatta Frankie Full Zip Fleece Jacket, is designed with a women's fit. Regatta offers various fleece styles suitable for men as well.
How should I care for the recycled materials?
The care instructions for the recycled material are the same as for the standard fleece. Follow the washing and drying guidelines to maintain the fabric's quality and longevity.
What is the benefit of flat-locked seams?
Flat-locked seams lie flat against the skin, reducing the risk of irritation and chafing. This is particularly beneficial when wearing the jacket for extended periods or during physical activity.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The two side zipped pockets are generally sufficient for most standard-sized smartphones, providing secure storage. The chest pocket is typically smaller and ideal for keys or cards.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth.
Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their loft. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of clean tennis balls to help restore fluffiness. Air drying is also recommended.
Pilling on the fleece fabric.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove small pills.
