Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult males seeking a warm, stylish, and water-repellent jacket for winter. The key benefit is superior warmth and protection from the elements without compromising on a sleek, extra-slim fit. A potential caveat is the slim fit, which may require sizing up for those who prefer a looser feel or plan to wear thicker layers underneath. This Colmar jacket features down padding, stretch fabric inserts, and a water-repellent finish, making it ideal for cold-weather activities. Key features include a double-slider zip closure, adjustable hood, and secure pockets.

FAQs
How do I know if I should size up?
Colmar jackets are designed with a close, slim fit. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick layers (like a heavy sweater) underneath, it is recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit.
What is the primary filling of this jacket?
The jacket is filled with 90% duck down and 10% duck feather, providing excellent insulation and warmth.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
No, this jacket requires dry cleaning only. Machine washing can damage the down filling and the water-repellent finish.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
The fabric has been treated to resist water absorption, meaning light rain or snow will bead up and roll off. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy downpours.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a breathable garment bag or hang it loosely. Avoid storing it in a tightly compressed state for long periods, as this can reduce the loft of the down.
What are the key differences between down and feather?
Down refers to the soft, fluffy undercoating of a bird, providing excellent insulation without bulk. Feathers have a central quill and offer some insulation but are heavier and less lofty than down.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying slight pressure. You can lubricate the teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax if needed.
Feathers are poking through the fabric.
Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the opposite side. If the fabric is torn, professional repair may be necessary.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The finish may degrade over time. Consider using a specialized fabric protector spray for water-repellent garments after cleaning, following the product's instructions.
