FAQs

What is 'garment dyeing' and how does it affect the jacket?

Garment dyeing is a process where the finished garment is dyed, resulting in a unique, textured look and often a slightly faded appearance. The main effect to be aware of is that the dye may transfer when the garment is wet. It also contributes to the jacket's overall unique aesthetic.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this blouson is designed for light rain and wind. It is quick-drying but not waterproof. For heavy rain, a more specialized waterproof jacket would be necessary.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The blouson features an adjustable hem with a drawstring and stopper, as well as gathered cuffs and hood. You can tighten these features to achieve a snugger, more personalized fit.

What kind of clothing can I layer under this blouson?

Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for layering over t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, or thin sweaters. Avoid very bulky items underneath if you want to maintain a streamlined silhouette.

What does 'Essentials collection' mean?

The 'Essentials collection' typically refers to versatile, foundational pieces designed for everyday wear and easy integration into a wardrobe. These items are meant to be reliable staples.

How durable is the nylon material?

Nylon is a strong and durable synthetic fiber known for its resistance to abrasion and wear, making it suitable for everyday use. The garment-dyeing process adds a unique texture but does not compromise the inherent strength of the nylon.

Troubleshooting

Color bleeding onto other clothing

Wash the blouson separately, especially during the first few washes. Avoid wearing or storing it while damp near light-colored items.

Drawstring or stopper mechanism is stiff

Gently work the drawstring back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the stopper mechanism might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Material feels slightly stiff after washing

This is normal for garment-dyed nylon. The material will soften with continued wear and washing. Tumble drying on a low setting can also help soften the fabric.
