Tommy Jeans Essential Water Repellent Zip-Thru Jacket - Grey - XL

Water repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration for a limited time. Light rain or moisture will bead up and roll off, keeping you dry in mild conditions. It is not waterproof, meaning it will not withstand heavy or prolonged rain.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid ironing.

This jacket is designed as a light outer layer. It features a mesh lining but no significant insulation. It is best suited for mild or transitional weather and can be layered over warmer clothing for added warmth in cooler temperatures.

The jacket has a regular fit with slightly dropped shoulders, offering a relaxed silhouette for comfortable layering.

The product description mentions two waist angled welt pockets, which are external. There is no mention of internal pockets in the provided information.

The jacket is made from 100% polyester.

This product description explicitly states it is an 'authentic and original Tommy Jeans product'. Look for the branded elements like the Tommy badge on the chest and logo inside the collar.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Over time, dirt and detergents can impact water repellency. Consider a gentle wash following care instructions and avoid fabric softeners. For heavily worn repellency, a re-waterproofing spray designed for synthetic fabrics may be considered.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly to the teeth.

While water-repellent, the jacket is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may lead to some moisture penetration. Ensure the jacket is not overly saturated and allow it to air dry. The mesh lining helps manage moisture but is not a substitute for a waterproof membrane.
