FAQs
What does 750 fill power mean?
Fill power is a measure of the loft or 'fluffiness' of the down. Higher fill power (like 750) indicates that the down is lighter, more compressible, and provides better insulation for its weight compared to lower fill power down.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the product description for specific measurements (e.g., for size M: front body length 74.5cm, rear body length 75.5cm, shoulders 54.5cm, chest 127cm, sleeve length 92.5cm). Compare these to your own measurements or a similar jacket that fits well. Sleeve length is measured from the nape of the neck.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing treatment or a dedicated rain jacket would be more suitable.
What is the main fabric made of?
The main fabric is 100% polyester, with at least 50% of it being recycled polyester.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
Yes, the 750 fill power down provides excellent insulation, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
To maintain the loft of the down, it's best to store the jacket loosely (e.g., hung up) rather than compressed in a bag for extended periods.
What is the difference between the Gorham jacket and other down jackets?
The Gorham jacket is distinguished by its oversized quilted design, water-repellent ripstop shell, high fill power down, and specific Polo Ralph Lauren styling elements like the embroidered Pony.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm after washing
The down may have clumped together. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls for 20-30 minute intervals. This helps to break up clumps and redistribute the down evenly, restoring loft and warmth.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish may have worn off over time. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after cleaning and drying the jacket. Follow the product's application instructions carefully.
Pony embroidery is snagged or damaged
Avoid direct ironing on the embroidery. If slightly snagged, try to gently smooth it out. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary.
