FAQs

What is the 50 Fili Wax fabric?

50 Fili Wax is CP Company's signature blend of nylon and cotton, treated with a semi-transparent, waterproof synthetic coating that gives it a distinctive wax-like appearance and enhanced weather resistance.

How do I clean the jacket?

It is best to wash the jacket sparingly. Use a cold, gentle machine wash or hand wash. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Always air dry away from direct heat and sunlight.

What does 'double garment dyed' mean?

This process dyes the cotton and nylon components of the fabric in different colors during the dyeing stage. This results in unique tonal contrasts and exceptional depth of color in the final garment.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a waterproof synthetic coating and is designed for weather resistance against rain and wind. While highly water-repellent, it may not be suitable for prolonged heavy downpours like a dedicated technical rain shell.

How does the fit run?

The jacket has a regular fit, designed for comfortable layering. It is not overly slim or oversized, but it is recommended to check the specific product measurements if you are unsure about sizing.

Can I machine dry the jacket?

No, machine drying is not recommended. Tumble drying can damage the fabric's coating and affect the jacket's fit and appearance. Always air dry.

What are the pocket closures?

The jacket features concealed front pockets with flap and snap button closures, providing secure storage for your essentials.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses some of its waxy feel after washing.

This is a natural effect of washing. The waxy feel can be partially restored by very lightly ironing the outer fabric on a low heat setting with a protective cloth, or by professional re-waxing treatments.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track.

Color appears uneven or blotchy.

This is an intentional characteristic of the double garment dyeing process, designed to create unique tonal variations. If the unevenness is extreme and appears to be a defect, contact customer support.

Jacket feels stiff after drying.

Allow the jacket to air out for a day or two; the fabric should naturally soften. Avoid harsh fabric softeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the garment-dyed nature and wax finish, it is recommended to wash this jacket infrequently. When necessary, opt for a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, or hand wash. Avoid harsh detergents and bleaching agents.
  • Drying: Air dry the jacket away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric coating and affect the fit.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting. It is advisable to iron the jacket inside out or place a protective cloth over the outer surface to preserve the wax effect.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
