FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The main body is a blend of 50% Polyester, 32% Wool, 7% Acrylic, 6% Viscose, 3% Nylon, and 2% Cotton. The sleeves are made of 50% PU and 50% Viscose/Polyester, with a 100% Polyester lining.
How should I clean this jacket?
Due to the mixed materials, especially the PU sleeves and wool blend, it is recommended to dry clean only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
The quilted satin lining provides warmth, making it suitable for cooler weather or layering. However, it is primarily a transitional jacket and may not be sufficient as a primary winter coat in very cold climates.
What does 'dropped shoulders' mean in terms of fit?
Dropped shoulders mean the seam where the sleeve attaches to the body is lower than usual, extending further down the arm. This creates a relaxed, modern silhouette and enhances comfort.
How do I care for the PU sleeves?
Avoid exposing the PU sleeves to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Clean them gently with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Store the jacket to prevent creasing on the sleeves.
What is the fit like?
The jacket features a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders, designed for comfort and a contemporary look. The model in the description wears a size M and is 6'1".
Can I wear this jacket in light rain?
The PU sleeves offer some resistance to light moisture, but the wool blend and other fabrics are not waterproof. It is best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions and should be protected from heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after cleaning
This may be due to the PU sleeves. Ensure you followed dry cleaning instructions precisely. If it persists, consult a professional cleaner.
Badge appliqués are peeling
Avoid direct heat and excessive friction on the appliqués. If minor peeling occurs, a professional tailor might be able to reattach them securely.
Pilling on wool blend areas
Gentle pilling is natural with wool blends. Use a fabric shaver carefully on affected areas or have it professionally cleaned.
PU sleeves are cracking
This can happen with age or improper care (excessive heat/bending). Store the jacket flat or on a wide hanger to minimize stress on the sleeves. Avoid extreme temperatures.
