FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is classified as showerproof, meaning it provides protection against light rain and mist but should not be expected to remain dry in heavy or prolonged downpours.
Does the jacket run true to size?
Yes, it is designed as a standard adult fit. If you prefer to wear heavy sweaters or thick hoodies underneath, you may consider sizing up.
Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the microfibre shell and the synthetic linings.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
The two outer pockets are designed with flaps and poppers, providing enough space for most standard-sized smartphones securely.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from durable polyester, chosen for its resistance to wind and water, combined with soft synthetic linings.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently apply a small amount of candle wax or specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Water begins to soak through the outer fabric
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off; consider applying a standard garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Threadbare jacket maintains its showerproof properties and structural integrity, proper care is required. Always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, but generally, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent to protect the microfibre finish and the synthetic linings. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized fabric coatings.
When sizing, note that the jacket is cut for a standard fit; consider wearing layers underneath if you live in particularly cold climates, as the ribbed hem and cuffs are designed to accommodate comfortable movement while maintaining a clean silhouette.
