FAQs
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, but it should be washed in cold water, turned inside-out, and air-dried to protect the fabric and color.
Does this jacket keep you warm in winter?
It serves best as a transitional layer. It is not insulated, so you will need to layer with warm garments underneath for deep winter temperatures.
What does 'Original Loose Fit' mean?
It means the garment is cut wider in the chest and shoulders compared to standard or slim-fit jackets, allowing for maximum mobility.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended, as high heat can shrink cotton and wear out the fabric finish prematurely.
Does the corduroy collar require special care?
Keep it clean by brushing off dust and avoid getting it heavily saturated to ensure it retains its texture.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently wax the zipper track with a graphite pencil or candle wax.
Fabric looks faded after several washes
Always wash inside-out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when air-drying to protect the fabric dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a garment, 'setup' involves finding the correct size. The jacket follows an 'Original' loose fit, which is wider than standard modern sizing. If you prefer a more structured look, consider sizing down; if you plan to wear it exclusively as an over-layer with heavy gear, stick to your standard size. Regarding care, the organic cotton twill should be washed in cold water to preserve the color and prevent the fabric from shrinking. It is recommended to air-dry the jacket to maintain its shape and avoid the high heat of tumble dryers, which can stress the cotton fibers and the corduroy collar texture. Spot clean any surface stains with a damp cloth before opting for a full machine wash.
