FAQs
What does 'Dobby' fabric mean?
Dobby refers to a type of woven fabric characterized by its textured, raised patterns, often created using a dobby loom. In this context, it contributes to the fabric's structure and durability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the 'Size Guide' section in the product description. Measurements are provided in inches for chest sizes: S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 42 in, XL: 44 in, XXL: 48 in, 3XL: 51 in. Measure your chest circumference for the best fit.
Is this body warmer suitable for very cold winter weather?
While the synthetic down filling provides good warmth, the sleeveless design means it's best used as a layering piece in very cold weather, combined with insulated sleeves and potentially a heavier outer jacket. It is ideal for mild to cool conditions.
Can I machine wash the body warmer?
Yes, the body warmer is machine washable at 40°C. Follow the specific care instructions provided to maintain its performance and longevity.
What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?
'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the garment, rather than being detachable or added as a separate piece.
What does 'Synthetic Down Filling' offer?
Synthetic down filling provides excellent thermal insulation, similar to natural down, but with added benefits such as retaining warmth even when damp and being easier to care for. The 300gsm filling indicates a substantial amount for good warmth.
How does the 'Shockcord Hem' work?
The shockcord hem is an elasticated cord with toggles located at the bottom edge of the body warmer. Tightening this cord allows you to cinch the hem, creating a closer fit to trap heat and prevent wind from entering.
What are the sustainability benefits?
This body warmer is made from recycled materials, contributing to reducing waste and conserving resources. This makes it a more environmentally friendly choice.
Troubleshooting
Body warmer feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the body warmer is layered appropriately over insulating clothing. Check that the shockcord hem is tightened to prevent drafts. If the garment has been washed, ensure it is fully dry as dampness can reduce insulation.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off over time. Consider using a re-proofing spray designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth can help.
