FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and mist. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and is best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

How do I clean the down insulation?

The jacket should be washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and a specialized down wash. It is crucial to tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore the loft of the down after washing.

What does RDS certified mean?

RDS stands for 'Responsible Down Standard.' It ensures that the down and feathers used in the jacket come from animals that have been treated ethically and have not been subjected to unnecessary harm.

Can I wear this jacket on both sides?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be reversible, offering two different styling options. Both sides feature functional pockets and closures.

What type of pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features four side pockets, providing convenient storage for small items like keys, a phone, or a wallet.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter temperatures?

The natural down insulation provides significant warmth, making it suitable for cold autumn and winter conditions. However, for extreme cold or prolonged exposure, layering might be necessary.

What is the main material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester for both the outer shell and the lining.

Troubleshooting

Jacket has lost its loft after washing.

This can happen with down insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on a low heat setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the down. Multiple drying cycles may be necessary.

Water is soaking through the fabric during rain.

The jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof rating. For light rain, it should repel water. For heavier rain, consider a more waterproof outer layer. The hydrophobic treatment may also diminish over time; reapplication of a suitable PFC-free treatment might help.

Zipper is sticking.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the down is properly lofted. If it has been compressed for a long time, try drying it on a low heat setting with dryer balls. Also, check that the elasticated cuffs and hem are sealing properly to prevent drafts.

This jacket is designed for adult males and comes in various sizes (S, M, L, XL). Its primary use is as an outer layer for casual wear during cooler weather (Autumn/Winter).

Care:

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing:
  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C).
  • Use a small amount of specialized down wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  • Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.
  1. Rinsing:
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  1. Drying:
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  • Add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up clumps of down and restore loft.
  • Continue drying until the jacket is completely dry and the down is fully fluffed. This may take several cycles.
  1. Spot Cleaning:
  • For minor stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive rubbing.
  1. Storage:
