FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a delicate, cold cycle. Always hang to dry to prevent damage to the waterproof coating.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is fully detachable, allowing you to choose a cleaner, collar-only look.

What does 'heat-taped seams' mean?

It means the seams are sealed with a specialized waterproof tape to prevent water from leaking through the needle holes where the garment is stitched.

Is the sizing gender-neutral?

Yes, the Flotte Archives jacket is designed as a unisex piece, fitting both men and women.

Does the jacket come in different colors?

Yes, it is available in blue, green, and beige variants depending on current stock availability.

What is the primary material used?

The jacket is crafted from high-grade polyester, chosen for its durability and water-resistant properties.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric

The outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Consider applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment designed for polyester garments.

Press-studs are difficult to close

Check for debris inside the stud housing. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean out any lint or dirt.

Visible creases after storage

Hang the jacket in a bathroom while running a hot shower. The steam will naturally help release wrinkles from the polyester fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with heat-taped seams
  • Detachable hood adds flexibility for different seasons
  • Ample pocket storage for urban commuting
  • Unisex design suitable for a wide range of body types
  • Stylish contrasting sleeve details

  • Polyester fabric may lack the breathability of technical membranes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your jacket in peak condition, ensure the press-stud fastenings are fully engaged during high winds for better windproofing. The jacket is designed to be worn over layers, so consider your preferred fit when choosing your size. For cleaning, machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water and hang to dry. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment on the polyester shell. Periodically inspect the heat-taped seams; if any section begins to lift, contact the manufacturer regarding specialized repair to maintain waterproof performance.
