FAQs
What is the primary material of the Fintoni Overshirt?
The overshirt is made from 100% recycled ripstop nylon.
Is this overshirt waterproof?
It features a water repellent finish, which protects against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.
How should I care for the water repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and re-applying a DWR treatment periodically will help maintain the finish.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
It is designed as a layering piece for transitional weather. For colder temperatures, additional warm layers underneath would be necessary.
What does 'double ended zip' mean?
A double ended zip has two sliders, allowing you to open the zipper from both the top and the bottom, offering more versatile ventilation and styling.
Does the relaxed fit mean it runs large?
The relaxed fit is intentional for layering. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit for your preferred style.
What is the benefit of ripstop nylon?
Ripstop nylon is woven with a special technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. It's also known for being lightweight and durable.
Troubleshooting
Zipper snagging
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If a thread is caught, carefully remove it. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can be rubbed on the teeth to improve glide.
Water repellency decreasing
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to product instructions after washing. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede the finish.
Overshirt feels stiff
Ensure the garment is not overwashing or using harsh detergents. Gentle washing and air drying typically maintain the intended drape. Some stiffness may be inherent to ripstop nylon until broken in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As an overshirt, the Fintoni requires no specific setup. It is designed for direct wear. Compatibility is broad, fitting well with casual and smart-casual wardrobes, pairing effectively with t-shirts, long-sleeve tops, jeans, chinos, and shorts. For care, refer to the garment's internal label. Typically, nylon garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape. Iron on a low setting if necessary, being careful not to overheat the fabric.
