FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester fleece, with a fabric weight of 260 g/m².
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a fleece jacket designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof or water-resistant.
How should I wash the jacket to maintain its quality?
You can machine wash it at 40°C on a normal cycle. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying. Iron at a low temperature if needed.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean for this jacket?
Anti-pilling means the fleece fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or pills on the surface, ensuring the jacket looks newer for longer.
What is the purpose of the extension in the back?
The extension in the back is designed to provide extra coverage when bending or reaching, preventing exposure and maintaining comfort, often referred to as avoiding the "plumber's smile."
Are the front pockets zippered?
No, the two front pockets are open. However, the chest pocket does feature a zipper for secure storage.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is best suited as a mid-layer or for mild conditions. For very cold weather, it would be advisable to layer it with a more insulated or waterproof outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece material feels rough after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (40°C, normal wash) and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can affect fleece texture.
Jacket seems too large
Consult the Blaklader sizing chart before purchase. If the fit is too large, consider layering with thicker garments underneath or exploring smaller sizes if available.
Pilling has started to appear
While designed to be anti-pilling, excessive friction or washing with rough items can cause pilling. Try washing inside out and using a gentle cycle. Use a fabric shaver for any minor pilling.
