FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
No, machine washing will remove the wax coating and damage the water-repellent finish. Spot clean with a damp cloth only.
Does the jacket provide enough warmth for winter?
It is lightly padded, making it ideal for mild winters or transitional seasons. For freezing temperatures, you may need additional base layers.
What is the fit like?
The jacket is cut for a regular fit and includes an interior waist drawcord, allowing you to cinch the waist for a more fitted silhouette.
How do I care for the corduroy accents?
Gently brush the corduroy with a soft-bristled garment brush to remove lint or dust. Avoid getting the corduroy excessively wet.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
This jacket is designed for light weather conditions; it is water-repellent but not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The wax coating has worn off; apply a fresh layer of wax treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and gently rub a candle or graphite pencil along the track to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, avoid machine washing, which can strip the wax coating. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a damp cloth to spot-clean the surface. For the best longevity, avoid storing the jacket in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can affect the finish. Over time, as the water-repellent properties fade, you may need to apply a specialized wax treatment designed for waxed cotton garments. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before placing it in long-term storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
