FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but you must follow the instructions on the garment's interior label to avoid damaging the finish.
Does it offer protection against heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, which is ideal for light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be relied upon for torrential downpours.
What is the fit of the Original Sailor Jacket?
It is designed with a regular fit, providing enough room for light layering while maintaining a clean, classic silhouette.
Does it have internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket includes an internal pocket specifically designed for storing valuables securely.
Can I use fabric softener when cleaning?
It is advised to avoid fabric softener as it can coat the fabric and negatively impact the performance of the water-repellent treatment.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be wearing off
Wash the jacket and consider using a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical outerwear to restore the finish.
Zip closure is sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean the slider path with a soft brush to remove dust or lint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical apparel item, proper care is essential to maintain the water-repellent finish. Always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, but generally, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the polyester fibers and the integrity of the zip mechanisms. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment. Hang dry the jacket in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the ribbed trims and fabric integrity.
