FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Blaklader 4993 jacket?
The jacket is designed as a warm, comfortable mid-layer for adult males, offering features like enhanced visibility through reflective details and practical storage with zippered pockets, suitable for work or casual wear.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
As a microfleece jacket, it provides good warmth but is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it should be worn in conjunction with an insulating layer and a waterproof outer shell.
Does the jacket meet official high-visibility safety standards?
No, the product information states that the hi-vis certification is not applicable. While it has reflective details for increased visibility, it should not be relied upon as certified safety workwear.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the Blaklader size chart, which provides specific measurements for chest, waist, and length. It is recommended to measure yourself accurately before selecting a size.
Can I machine wash and dry the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) and tumble dried on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What are the benefits of the microfleece material?
The microfleece is 100% polyester, 170g/m², brushed on both sides, and treated to be antipilling. This makes it soft, warm, lightweight, and durable, maintaining its appearance over time.
Are there inner pockets?
Yes, the jacket features two inner pockets for additional storage.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away from the track. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the elasticated hem using the internal drawcord (if applicable) or ensure the cuffs are comfortably positioned. For a different fit, consider exchanging for a different size based on the provided size chart.
Fleece material has started to pill excessively
While the jacket is designed with antipilling treatment, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause pilling. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding abrasive materials.
Reflective tape appears damaged or is peeling
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, and do not iron the reflective tape. If damage occurs, it may be difficult to repair effectively. Clean gently around the affected area.
