FAQs
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Weft Knit with a Brushed Back, offering warmth and comfort. The reinforced panels are made from a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and can be worn under a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features five pockets in total: one chest pocket with a zip, two side zipper pockets, and two internal pockets for secure storage.
Can this jacket be used for corporate branding?
Yes, the jacket's clean design and contemporary cut make it ideal for corporate wear and custom finishes like embroidery or printing.
What is the fit of the jacket?
The jacket has a contemporary, modern fit. It is recommended to consult the size chart to ensure the best fit, as it may be more tailored than traditional workwear.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its quality?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting if needed. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's properties.
What does the 'reinforced panels' feature provide?
Reinforced panels are added to high-wear areas like the shoulders and back. This provides extra durability and protection against abrasion, extending the jacket's lifespan in demanding work environments.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Check the sizing against the provided size chart. The contemporary fit is designed to be modern, so consider sizing up if a looser fit is preferred. Ensure all zippers are fully open for maximum mobility.
Pilling or fuzziness on the fleece
This can occur with normal wear. To minimize pilling, follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during drying. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the fleece is not compacted by improper washing or drying. Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding drying temperature. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce the insulating properties of fleece.
