FAQs

What kind of weather is this jacket most suitable for?

This jacket is best suited for transitional weather conditions, such as spring and autumn, where temperatures are mild to cool. It provides lightweight warmth without being overly bulky.

Can this jacket be machine washed?

Due to its silk material, hand washing with a mild detergent in cool water or professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric and padding. Please refer to the care label for specific instructions.

How packable is the Eshka jacket?

The Eshka jacket is designed to be highly packable, compressing down to a 'really small' size. This makes it exceptionally convenient for travel or for keeping in your car for unexpected temperature changes.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket features secure zipped pockets, perfect for keeping your essential items safe while you're out and about.

Is this jacket waterproof?

While it offers some protection as a jacket, its primary material (silk) and lightweight design suggest it provides minimal water resistance. It is best suited for dry conditions or very light drizzle, not heavy rain.

What material is the jacket made from?

This particular variant of the Eshka jacket is made from silk, offering a luxurious feel and natural breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for hiking or other strenuous activities?

It is ideal for casual outdoor activities like dog walks or light strolls. For strenuous activities requiring robust weather protection or high durability, specialized performance gear might be more appropriate, as silk can be delicate.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected in cool weather.

This jacket is designed for transitional temperatures. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer base layer or a fleece. It is not intended for harsh winter climates.

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.

Gently try to move the slider without forcing it. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth and carefully remove it. If the zipper is stiff, rub a graphite pencil or a bar of soap along the teeth to lubricate it.

Jacket appears wrinkled after being packed.

Hang the jacket on a hanger in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes; the steam will help relax the wrinkles. Alternatively, use a garment steamer on a low setting or a cool iron on the reverse side if necessary.

Fabric appears to have a minor snag or pull.

Due to the silk material, handle with care around rough surfaces. For minor snags, gently try to ease the thread back into place from the inside of the garment using a fine needle. Avoid cutting the snagged thread unless absolutely necessary.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure your Weird Fish Eshka Lightweight Padded Jacket maintains its quality and extends its lifespan, proper care is essential, especially given its silk material:

  1. Washing: Due to the delicate silk material, it is highly recommended to hand wash the jacket using a mild, silk-specific detergent in cool water. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning is a safe option. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, or bleach, as these can damage the silk fibers and padding.
  2. Drying: After washing, gently press out excess water without twisting or wringing the fabric. Do not tumble dry. Lay the jacket flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight or heat, to air dry. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
  3. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature setting specifically for silk, and iron the jacket while it is slightly damp, preferably on the reverse side to protect the outer surface.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store the jacket on a padded hanger or folded neatly in a cool, dry place. To maintain the loft of the padding, avoid compressing it for extended periods.
