Joules Rosewell Longline Quilted Showerproof Coat - Black - S

No, the coat is designed to be `showerproof`, meaning it will effectively repel light rain and drizzles. It is not intended for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet weather, where a fully waterproof garment would be more suitable.

This coat is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, or cooler days when you need protection from light rain and a bit of extra warmth. It's perfect for unpredictable weather conditions.

Always check the specific care label inside your coat. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong chemicals. Air drying flat or tumble drying on low with dryer balls is usually advised to maintain the quilting.

The main composition of the coat is 100% recycled nylon, with linings and wadding made from other recycled polyester materials. This makes it an eco-conscious choice.

The Joules Rosewell coat features a `regular fit`. For specific sizing, it's always best to refer to the brand's size guide if available and consider your usual sizing for outerwear, especially if you plan to layer underneath.

If ironing is necessary, use a very low heat setting and place a protective cloth between the iron and the coat fabric to prevent damage to the recycled nylon. Avoid ironing directly on any hardware or branding.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish can wear off with use and washing. To restore its water repellency, clean the coat according to care instructions and then apply a reproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.

This can happen if the wadding clumps. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These will help to gently agitate and fluff the wadding, restoring its loft and even distribution. Stop periodically to manually re-distribute any clumps.

Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zipper teeth. If it's still stiff, gently rub a graphite pencil (not ink) along the zipper teeth, or apply a small amount of dedicated zipper lubricant. Open and close the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant.
