FAQs
What is the primary material of the CWU-36/P TT Light Jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% flight nylon, known for its durability and weather resistance.
What type of fit does this jacket have?
It features a regular fit, which is a standard, comfortable fit that is neither too tight nor too loose.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket includes two large outer pockets, one inner pocket with a snap fastener, and a utility pocket on the sleeve.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
This is a 'light' jacket designed for transitional weather. It offers wind resistance but is not insulated for extreme cold.
How should I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Refer to the specific care label on the garment for detailed instructions.
What does the 'Remove Before Flight' label signify?
This is a traditional aviation safety reminder, commonly found on aircraft and equipment, and is a signature design element of Alpha Industries jackets.
Can I remove the Velcro patch?
The Velcro patch is typically attached securely. While it may be possible to remove it carefully, it could leave marks or damage the fabric underneath.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to ease movement.
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing
Hang the jacket to air dry immediately after washing. If creases persist, iron on a low setting on the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct heat on patches.
Velcro patch is losing its grip
Clean the hook and loop sides of the Velcro with a stiff brush to remove any lint or debris. Avoid excessive washing of the patch area.
