FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the recycled polyester material?

Using recycled polyester reduces waste and the demand for virgin resources, making the jacket a more sustainable choice.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for lightweight warmth and layering. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more insulated or protective outer jacket.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the sizing information provided in the product description, which lists UK chest measurements. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the chart.

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

The jacket is not waterproof. It can offer some protection against light drizzle due to its dense fleece weave, but for prolonged or heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer is recommended.

What is the jacquard finish?

The jacquard finish is a weaving technique that creates a textured pattern directly into the fabric, giving the fleece a more sophisticated and visually interesting look.

How should I care for the cream color?

Due to the light color, it is advisable to wash the jacket promptly after any spills and follow the care instructions carefully to maintain its appearance. Washing with similar colors and avoiding harsh detergents is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Jacket feels less warm after washing

Fleece can sometimes lose loft after washing. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can sometimes flatten the fleece fibers.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove any pills that form.
