FAQs
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% polyester fleece, with a fabric weight of 260 g/m², and features an anti-pilling treatment.
How do I wash this fleece jacket?
You can wash the jacket on a normal wash cycle at 40°C. Avoid bleaching and do not tumble dry. Iron at a low temperature if needed.
What is the main benefit of the extended rear panel?
The extended rear panel provides extra coverage on the lower back, helping to prevent drafts and keep you warmer, especially when bending or moving.
Does the jacket have secure pockets?
Yes, it features two spacious front pockets and one secure zippered chest pocket for storing essentials.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth as a mid-layer or for moderate temperatures. For very cold conditions, it is best layered with additional insulating garments.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean for this jacket?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls (pills) on its surface, helping the jacket maintain a smoother appearance over time.
Can this jacket be dry-cleaned?
Yes, professional dry-cleaning is an option according to the care instructions, though normal washing is usually sufficient for maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth for lubrication. Check for any debris in the track.
Jacket has lost its shape or softness
Check that washing and drying instructions were followed correctly. Avoid high heat in washing or drying. Air dry if possible. Consider a gentle cycle for washing.
Pilling has started to appear
While designed to be anti-pilling, excessive friction or improper washing can cause pilling. Ensure the jacket is washed inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying. Brush gently with a soft brush if minor pilling occurs.
