FAQs

What is the primary function of this jacket?

The primary function is to provide warmth and protection from cold weather, with a water-repellent finish for light precipitation, all within an iconic retro style.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or snow, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

How do I choose the right size?

This jacket features a regular, square fit. Refer to standard sizing charts and consider if you prefer a looser fit for layering when selecting your size. The listed size is XS.

What materials is the insulation made of?

The insulation is composed of 90% Goose down and 10% Waterfowl feathers, offering excellent warmth.

Can this jacket be packed easily?

Yes, it features a foldable design, making it convenient to pack into a backpack or bag for travel or storage.

How should I clean the jacket?

It can be hand or machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore the down's loft. Always check the inner care label for specific instructions.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, the jacket includes a hood for added protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Down insulation clumping after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help redistribute and re-loft the down.

Water repellency decreasing

The water-repellent finish may wear off over time. Consider using a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment spray suitable for down jackets, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is difficult to close

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to realign the zipper and pull it up slowly. If necessary, use a graphite pencil or a bit of wax on the teeth for smoother operation.
