FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester microfleece, which is brushed on both sides and weighs 170g/m².
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good insulation as a mid-layer or for moderate temperatures. For very cold conditions, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Wash the jacket at 40 degrees Celsius. Do not tumble dry, iron, bleach, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the fleece quality.
What is the purpose of the high-visibility panels and reflective tape?
These features are designed to increase your visibility to others, especially in low-light conditions or busy environments, enhancing safety.
Does the jacket have many pockets?
Yes, it features front pockets with zippers for secure storage, and two inner pockets for additional items.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
While designed for men, the jacket's sizing and fit might be suitable for women depending on preference and body shape. Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements.
What does 'anti-piling' mean?
Anti-piling means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on its surface, keeping the garment looking newer for longer.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Fleece material feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and not tumble drying or ironing.
Reflective tape appears to be peeling
This can occur with excessive heat during washing or drying. Ensure the garment is washed at 40°C and air-dried away from direct heat sources. Do not iron the reflective tape.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the elasticated cuffs and hem are not restricting movement. Consider if a larger size is needed for layering underneath.
