Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Marmarole Retro Jacket has a regular fit, but consider layering with thinner items underneath for better mobility if needed.
Reduced warmth or insulation.
Check for any damage to the insulation or fabric. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and debris can affect its insulating properties. Follow care instructions for washing.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant sparingly. Ensure the inner flap is not caught in the zipper.
Pockets do not close securely.
Verify that the zips are fully engaged. If the zip puller is damaged, it may require repair or replacement of the zipper slider.
