FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This is a softshell jacket that is unlined. It is ideal for transitional seasons and mild to cool weather. For very cold temperatures, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.
How do I clean this jacket?
The jacket requires professional dry-cleaning with specific solvents. It should not be washed at home, bleached, or tumble dried on high heat. Always follow the detailed care instructions provided.
What does 'water-resistant' mean for this jacket?
Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to a certain extent, protecting you from light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to dampness.
What is the 'Plus' fit?
The 'Plus' fit indicates that this jacket is designed with specific patterns and dimensions to provide a more comfortable and accommodating fit for individuals who wear larger sizes.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
Yes, this jacket is water-resistant and suitable for light rain or drizzle. For heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear would be advisable.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.
Does the hood have adjustable features?
Yes, the hood features a drawcord for adjustable regulation, allowing you to secure it against wind and weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after cleaning.
This can occur if care instructions are not followed precisely. Ensure professional dry-cleaning is used as per the guidelines. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat during any permitted drying processes.
Water is not beading on the surface.
The water-resistant treatment may have diminished over time. While the fabric itself offers some resistance, re-treatment might be necessary if significant beading is no longer observed. Refer to professional cleaning services for potential re-proofing options.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstruction. If the zipper is stiff, you can try gently rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
