Regatta Cath Kidston Junior Shell Jacket - Floral - 5-6 Years

This is a lightweight shell jacket designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. It is not heavily insulated. For cold winter weather, it is recommended to layer a warm fleece or jumper underneath.

The jacket is sized for a 5-6 year old. Refer to standard children's UK sizing charts for height and chest measurements if unsure. It is designed to be worn over other clothing, so a slightly looser fit is expected.

Yes, the jacket is fully machine washable. Please follow the specific instructions on the garment's care label, using a mild detergent and a gentle cycle.

Taped seams means that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket have been covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the small holes created by the sewing needle.

The jacket features a grown-on hood, meaning it is permanently attached. While it does not have drawstrings for adjustment, its design is intended to provide good coverage.

The jacket is made from a blend of 62% Polyester and 38% Recycled Polyester, offering a balance of durability and sustainability.

Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade waterproof coatings. For minor issues, re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment might help.

This can sometimes happen with synthetic materials after washing. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid high heat drying. Air drying is often best.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. If the zipper is damaged, it may require professional repair.
