FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Hampshire Jacket?
The primary benefit is its versatility for transitional weather, offering a lightweight, water-repellent shell with a comfortable, soft feel due to its recycled polyester and cotton blend.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment which is effective for light weather conditions and light rain. It is not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet weather.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, which gives it a soft, peached feel.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features two side welt pockets and two interior pockets, providing ample storage space.
What kind of fit does the jacket have?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit, offering a comfortable and standard silhouette.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and cool iron if needed. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the water-repellent treatment.
What does the DWR treatment do?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment helps the fabric shed water, causing light rain or moisture to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have diminished over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment following product instructions, or wash the jacket using a specialized cleaner designed to restore water repellency.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Material feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade water-repellent finishes and soften the fabric excessively. Tumble dry on low heat to help restore some of the fabric's original feel. If stiffness persists, iron on a low setting (cool iron) as per care instructions.
