FAQs
What is jacquard fabric?
Jacquard refers to a weaving method that creates complex patterns directly into the fabric, rather than printing them on the surface. This gives the fabric a rich, textured, and often slightly raised design.
Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?
The 3/4 sleeve design and polyester blend make it a versatile layering piece. It's ideal for spring, autumn, and cooler summer evenings. For very cold winter weather, it might require additional warmer layers.
Can I dry clean this jacket?
The product is listed as `Machine Washable`. While dry cleaning is often an option for tailored garments, it's not explicitly required for this item. Always check the specific care label on your jacket for the most accurate cleaning instructions.
Does the jacket stretch?
Yes, the fabric blend includes 3% Elastane, which provides a small amount of stretch for comfort and ease of movement, while maintaining its tailored shape.
How do I choose the correct size?
This jacket is described as `True to size` with a `Womens Regular fit`. We recommend choosing your usual UK dress size. For the best fit, refer to standard UK sizing guides if unsure. This specific variant is UK Size 16.
Will the blue color fade after washing?
Polyester is generally good at retaining color. To minimize any potential fading, wash in cold water with similar colors and use a detergent formulated for colored garments. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight when drying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears wrinkled after washing.
Ensure you use a low spin cycle. After washing, gently reshape the jacket and hang it to air dry. If wrinkles persist, iron on a low heat setting, ideally inside out.
Jacket feels too restrictive or uncomfortable.
While the jacket has 3% elastane for subtle stretch, it's a tailored fit. Ensure you selected the correct size according to your measurements. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up for a more relaxed feel, though this product is listed as 'true to size'.
Fabric losing its texture or appearing dull.
Always wash according to the care label, avoiding harsh detergents or abrasive washing. Avoid over-washing. Line drying can also help preserve fabric integrity better than machine drying.
