FAQs
What is the primary material of the Regatta Newhill fleece?
The fleece is made from a two-tone mélange knitted fabric, composed of 70% polyester and 30% recycled polyester.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?
It is recommended to machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Regatta Newhill fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability and should be paired with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.
What are the pocket configurations?
The fleece features two lower zip pockets and one additional zipped pocket on the sleeve for secure storage.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth. For very cold weather, it is best worn in combination with a warm base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
What does 'mélange' fabric mean?
Mélange refers to a fabric that has a heathered or mottled appearance, created by blending different colored yarns together before weaving or knitting.
Can I wear this fleece as a casual jacket?
Yes, its stylish design makes it suitable for casual wear during cooler weather.
Troubleshooting
Fleece loses its softness after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a cool cycle (30°C) and avoid high heat drying. Using a fabric conditioner specifically designed for synthetics may help restore softness.
Zippers are sticking.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
Pilling or bobbling of the fabric.
This is a natural occurrence with fleece over time and with friction. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive abrasion can minimize it. Pilling can often be carefully removed with a fabric shaver.
