FAQs

What does 'garment dyed' mean?

Garment dyeing means the final garment is dyed after it has been fully constructed. This process results in a unique color depth and a softer feel compared to fabric dyed before construction.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

This track jacket is made from light stretch cotton tela, making it best suited for mild weather or as a layering piece in colder conditions. It is not designed as heavy winter outerwear.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the product's size chart if available, or consider your usual sizing for athletic-fit jackets. The stretch cotton and drawcord hem offer some flexibility in fit.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid high temperatures and harsh detergents.

What is the 'paracadute' in the product name referring to?

'Paracadute' likely refers to the lightweight, wind-resistant quality of the cotton tela, evoking the feel of parachute fabric.

How should I care for the elasticated drawcord hem?

The elasticated hem should be treated like the rest of the garment during washing. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can degrade the elastic over time.

Troubleshooting

Color bleeding during wash

Wash the garment separately or with similar dark colors only for the first few washes. Ensure you are using cold water and a mild detergent.

Fabric appears faded or unevenly colored

This is often an intended characteristic of garment dyeing. If significant fading occurs unexpectedly, ensure you are following care instructions precisely and avoiding harsh washing conditions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Garment loses its shape after washing

Ensure you are line drying the garment and not over-agitating during the wash cycle. Reshape the garment while damp before drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment and requires no setup. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit.

Compatibility: This track jacket is designed as a standalone piece or as part of a layered outfit. It pairs well with casual trousers, jeans, or shorts.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the garment-dyed fabric and the overall quality of the jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh stain removers.
  3. Drying: Line dry in the shade. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can affect the fabric and color.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably inside out.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is an option but follow specific instructions for garment-dyed items.
