FAQs
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% polyester microfleece, with a fabric weight of 260g/m².
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort, and should be worn with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
How many pockets does it have, and are they secure?
The jacket features two spacious front pockets and one chest pocket. All three pockets are secured with zippers for safe storage.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
While this product is listed under men's apparel, the classic fleece jacket design with its practical features can be suitable for anyone seeking warmth and utility. Sizing may need to be adjusted for a female fit.
What is the benefit of the extended rear panel?
The extended rear panel provides extra coverage and warmth at the lower back, which is particularly useful when bending, stretching, or in cold conditions.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its quality?
Machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a normal cycle. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying. Iron at a low temperature if necessary. Do not use fabric softeners.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean for this fleece jacket?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring the jacket maintains a smoother appearance and softer feel over time, even with regular wear and washing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth can help. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels too tight/loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart for accurate measurements. The elastic hem and cuffs offer some adjustability, but for a significantly different fit, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fleece is losing its softness
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes affect the performance of fleece. Air drying instead of tumble drying can also help maintain the material's texture.
Pilling developing on the fabric
While this jacket is made with anti-pilling fleece, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause minor pilling. Ensure the jacket is not rubbed excessively against rough surfaces. Follow care instructions strictly, and use a fabric shaver for any minor pilling that occurs.
