FAQs
What material is the Roman Stretch Pocket Detail Jacket made from?
This jacket is crafted from a comfortable 'bengaline fabric', which provides its signature stretch and flexibility. While the Silver variant specifically lists Polyester in its attributes, bengaline is a blend that typically includes synthetic fibers like polyester and spandex for elasticity.
How should I wash this jacket to ensure its longevity?
To best care for your jacket, machine wash it on a gentle cycle using cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach. For drying, line dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting to preserve the fabric's stretch and shape.
Can I wear this jacket in all seasons?
The jacket is designed as a lightweight layering piece, making it ideal for Spring and Summer. It's perfect for cooler evenings or as a stylish cover-up. For colder weather, it may not provide sufficient warmth and would require additional, heavier layers underneath.
What type of outfits does this jacket pair well with?
This jacket is exceptionally versatile! It can be effortlessly styled with printed dresses, denim shorts, various skirts, or simply layered over a t-shirt and jeans. Its classic design allows it to complement both casual and slightly more dressed-up ensembles.
Does the jacket have functional pockets?
Yes, the jacket features classic patch pockets on the front, providing both a stylish detail and practical storage.
What is the approximate length of this jacket?
The jacket has an approximate length of 59cm, offering a flattering and contemporary fit that works well with a variety of bottom styles.
Is the jacket true to size?
The jacket is designed for a comfortable fit, leveraging the stretch in its fabric. For the best fit, it is recommended to consult the Roman brand's official sizing chart and compare it with your own measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive, despite being my usual size.
While designed with stretch, ensure you've selected the correct size. The 'bengaline fabric' allows for flexibility, but if it feels overly snug, a larger size might be more comfortable. Check the Roman sizing chart against your measurements.
The fabric seems to be losing its stretch or shape over time.
This can often be due to improper care. Ensure you are washing the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding high heat during drying, as excessive heat can degrade elastic fibers. Always line dry or tumble dry on very low heat.
Jacket is wrinkling easily after washing or wear.
While bengaline is generally wrinkle-resistant, improper drying or storage can lead to creases. Remove the jacket promptly from the dryer, hang it immediately, or consider steaming for quick wrinkle removal. Store on a padded hanger to maintain shape.
Color appears faded after several washes.
Always wash the jacket with similar colors and use a detergent designed for colored garments. Washing in cold water also helps preserve fabric dyes. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight when drying, as this can cause fading.

Care

- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric's elasticity. Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles.
