FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is primarily made of fleece, designed for warmth and comfort.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
This jacket is designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It can serve as a good insulating layer under a waterproof shell in wet conditions, but is not designed to withstand heavy rain on its own.
How do I adjust the fit at the bottom of the jacket?
There is an interior drawcord at the hem that you can tighten to customize the fit and help block out wind.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
It provides good warmth for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over a base layer and under a more substantial outer shell.
What does 'Modern Classic Fit' mean?
This fit offers a comfortable and relaxed silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose, making it suitable for layering over other garments.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered for secure storage, but the material itself is not waterproof. Contents may get wet in heavy rain.
How should I wash this fleece jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the zipper teeth can help it slide more smoothly.
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece. Tumble dry on low heat. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can help restore the surface.
Drawcord is loose or uneven
Check that the drawcord is threaded correctly through the hem. If it has pulled out, use a safety pin to re-thread it. Ensure the stoppers are functioning correctly.
