Full details
The Blauer Wave Jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight warmth and contemporary urban style. Its key benefit is providing superior insulation without bulk, thanks to its 90/10 down filling and compact design. A potential caveat is its glossy finish, which may be less durable than matte alternatives and requires careful handling to maintain its appearance. This jacket features horizontal wave stitching, a fixed hood, multiple zipped pockets, and elasticated trims for a secure and sporty fit, making it a versatile choice for casual winter wear.

FAQs
What type of down is used in this jacket?
The jacket is filled with 90/10 down, meaning it is composed of 90% down and 10% feathers, offering a high warmth-to-weight ratio.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Hanging it or keeping it in a breathable bag is recommended to maintain the loft of the down filling.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
While the jacket may have some water-repellent properties, it is primarily designed for warmth and casual wear in dry or lightly wet conditions. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer shell would be more appropriate.
Can I iron this jacket?
It is not recommended to iron the jacket, especially the glossy finish, as high heat can damage the material and the down. If necessary, iron on the lowest synthetic setting with extreme caution, avoiding direct contact with the glossy surface.
What does the '90/10 down quilting' mean?
This refers to the composition of the filling: 90% down clusters and 10% feathers. A higher down percentage generally indicates better insulation and a lighter weight.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The outer pockets are zipped for security, but they are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid storing sensitive electronic devices in them during wet weather.
What is the purpose of the striped elasticated waistband?
The striped elasticated details on the hood, hem, and cuffs are designed to provide a snug, comfortable fit, helping to keep out cold air and wind, and adding a sporty aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Down loft is uneven after washing/drying.
Place the jacket back in the dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This will help break up any clumps and redistribute the down evenly.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
Jacket has lost some water repellency.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then use a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for down jackets and synthetic shells.
