FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and mist. It is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, but use a gentle, cool cycle with mild detergent. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
What material is the jacket made from?
This specific variant is crafted from high-quality nylon, which provides durability and lightweight comfort.
Does the jacket have an inner lining?
The jacket features an inner collar and a comfortable interior construction typical of the Original Sailor line for a soft fit against the skin.
Is the jacket suitable for winter?
It is best suited for transitional seasons or mild temperatures. It may require additional layering if worn in colder winter conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track; you can lightly rub the teeth with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket is losing its water-repellent effectiveness
After washing, use a spray-on water-repellent treatment designed for synthetic outdoor fabrics to restore the coating.
Ribbed cuffs look slightly stretched
Avoid hanging the jacket by its cuffs; instead, use a wide-shouldered hanger to distribute weight evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your North Sails Sailor Jacket in peak condition, always check the internal care label before washing. Generally, because of the water-repellent finish, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the material. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners that may strip the water-repellent coating. Air drying is preferred; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the synthetic fibers or the ribbed elastic detailing. When storing, hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape.
