Full details
The GANT Hampshire Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, water-repellent outerwear option ideal for transitional weather. Its key benefit lies in its versatile protection against light rain and wind, with a comfortable blend of recycled polyester and cotton.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The GANT Hampshire Jacket is ideal for transitional weather, such as spring and autumn. Its water-repellent finish is designed for light rain and wind protection, not heavy downpours.
How do I determine my size?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit. Please refer to the GANT sizing chart for specific measurements to find the best fit for you. The 'XS' size refers to extra small.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Will this jacket keep me warm in cold weather?
This is a lightweight jacket designed for transitional weather. It may not provide sufficient warmth for very cold temperatures on its own but is suitable for layering.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
It means the fabric has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface in light weather conditions. It is not waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to saturation.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Wash gently and tumble dry on low heat. The finish will naturally wear off over time and can be reapplied using specific DWR treatment products.
What are the pocket details?
The jacket features two side welt pockets for easy access and two interior pockets for secure storage of personal items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a new DWR treatment as per product instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can hinder water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat, which can help restore some softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The GANT Hampshire Jacket requires no setup upon purchase; it is ready to wear. It is compatible with most casual and smart-casual outfits. To maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties and fabric integrity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment and fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting.
- Re-Waterproofing: The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment will naturally wear off over time. For enhanced water repellency, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer designed for outerwear after several washes, following the product's instructions.
