FAQs
What does '50 Fili Wax' refer to?
50 Fili Wax refers to CP Company's signature fabric blend of nylon and cotton, treated with a special wax-like coating to enhance its water-resistant properties and create a unique visual texture.
How do I clean this jacket?
Due to the specialized coating and dyeing process, it is strongly recommended to dry clean the jacket only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to maintain the fabric's integrity and finish.
Is the jacket completely waterproof?
The jacket features a waterproof synthetic coating and polyurethane outer layer, providing significant water resistance. It is designed to protect against rain and wet conditions, but extensive submersion is not recommended.
Will the color fade or change significantly?
The jacket is double garment dyed, which creates unique tonal variations. While the color is durable, the nature of the dye process means slight changes or deepening of tones may occur over time with wear and care, contributing to its character.
What is the purpose of the rear ventilation panel?
The rear ventilation panel is designed to improve airflow and breathability, helping to regulate body temperature and enhance comfort, especially during physical activity or when layering.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for cool weather and layering. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath, such as a warm sweater or fleece.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?
Regular fit indicates a standard cut that is not too tight or too loose, allowing for comfortable layering over other clothing items without being overly bulky.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or creased after storage.
Hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a very low heat setting inside out to relax the fabric. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The anti-fall treatment may require reapplication over time, or the fabric may need professional re-waxing. Consult with a professional garment care specialist familiar with technical outerwear.
Visible color inconsistencies or streaks.
These are characteristic of the double garment dyeing process and are intentional design features that contribute to the jacket's unique appearance. They do not indicate a defect.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth if friction persists.
