Product Information
Full details
The Farah Fintoni Zipped Overshirt in Submarine Grey is designed for adult males seeking adaptable layering options. Its key benefit lies in its versatile nature, bridging the gap between a shirt and a jacket for a comfortable 'shacket' feel. A potential caveat is its relaxed fit, which may require careful consideration for those preferring a more tailored silhouette. This overshirt is crafted from lightweight yet resilient recycled ripstop nylon with a water-repellent finish, featuring a double-ended zip, chest patch pocket, and welt side pockets for practical storage. The embroidered Gold F adds a subtle branding detail.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the Fintoni Overshirt?
The overshirt is made from 100% recycled ripstop nylon, chosen for its lightweight, durable, and comfortable properties.
Is this overshirt suitable for heavy rain?
The overshirt has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or moisture. It is not designed to be a fully waterproof garment for heavy downpours.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the finish, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach during washing. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment periodically to refresh its effectiveness.
What does 'double ended zipper' mean?
A double ended zipper has two sliders, allowing you to open or close the zipper from both the top and the bottom. This provides greater flexibility for ventilation and styling.
Does the 'relaxed fit' mean it runs large?
The 'relaxed fit' is designed for comfort and ease of layering. While it offers more room than a slim fit, it is advisable to consult a size chart or try it on if possible to ensure the best fit for your preference.
Can I put the overshirt in a tumble dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the overshirt on a low heat setting. However, hanging it to dry is also recommended to preserve the fabric and its properties.
What is the benefit of ripstop nylon?
Ripstop nylon is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. If a small tear does occur, the ripstop pattern helps to prevent it from spreading.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Water repellency is reduced.
The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for nylon fabrics, following the product's instructions.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry immediately after washing. If creases persist, iron on a low, cool setting, avoiding direct heat on any embellishments.
Embroidered logo is peeling.
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If peeling has started, do not attempt to force it. It is best to avoid ironing directly on the embroidered area.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the fabric's integrity and water-repellent finish, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the nylon.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Do not iron directly on any printed or embroidered areas.
- Water Repellency: To refresh the water-repellent finish, you may use a specialized spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear after several washes, following the product's instructions.
