FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please follow the care label instructions to maintain the integrity of the insulation and waterproof coating.
What is Thermo-Guard insulation?
Thermo-Guard is a synthetic fiber technology that traps air to provide warmth, keeping children comfortable in cold weather while remaining lightweight.
Can I have the school logo embroidered on this jacket?
Yes, the jacket features internal zip access specifically designed to allow embroidery machines to reach the outer fabric without sewing through the internal lining.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is a concealed, integrated peaked hood that tucks away when not in use, rather than being fully removable.
How do I ensure the right size for my child?
The jackets are sized by age in the UK market. Refer to the size label in the collar, which corresponds to the manufacturer's recommended age range.
Does it have space for a name label?
Yes, it includes a dedicated name and class label inside, which is perfect for school environments to prevent loss.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or hard to pull
Check for fabric caught in the storm flap and ensure the zip path is clear of debris. Applying a small amount of clear candle wax to the teeth can improve glide.
Jacket feels less water-repellent over time
Reactivate the outer water-repellent finish by tumble drying on a low, cool setting if care instructions permit, or re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically for synthetic outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the Dover Jacket in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-resistant coating on the outer fabric.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the elasticated waistband and cuffs.
- Decoration: If using the internal zip access for embroidery, ensure the sewing machine needle is appropriate for the polyester shell to avoid damaging the waterproof barrier.
