FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% flight nylon, known for its durability and weather resistance.

What does 'CWU 36/P' stand for?

CWU stands for 'Cold Weather Uniform', and 36/P denotes a specific model or type within the US Air Force and Navy flight jacket classification.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is a 'light' jacket and is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece. It offers wind resistance but lacks heavy insulation for extreme cold.

How do I clean the jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Cool iron if needed.

What are the pocket configurations?

The jacket features two large outer pockets and one inner pocket with a snap fastener.

What is the significance of the 'Remove Before Flight' label?

This is an authentic detail from aviation, used on aircraft and equipment covers to indicate they must be removed before flight.

Does the jacket have a hood?

No, the CWU 36/P TT Light Jacket features a high collar but does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or sticking

Gently pull the zipper while applying slight pressure. If needed, use a graphite pencil to rub the teeth of the zipper, or a small amount of wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Fading of color after washing

Always wash in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the outer surface.

Ribbed cuffs or hem losing elasticity

Avoid high heat drying, as this can degrade elastic fibers. Follow the recommended cold wash and low heat or air dry instructions.

Velcro patch detaches

If the stitching comes loose, it can be re-sewn by hand or at a tailor. Ensure the Velcro is kept clean from lint to maintain its grip.
