Troubleshooting
Showerproof coating seems less effective.
The water-repellent finish can diminish over time with washing. Consider applying a fabric-specific re-waterproofer spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Avoid tumble drying and high heat. Line dry naturally. If stiffness persists, a cool iron might help, but avoid excessive heat on the fabric.
Snap buttons are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the fabric around the snaps is aligned correctly. Avoid forcing the snaps. If a snap is damaged, professional repair may be needed.
Floral lining shows through seams.
This is a design feature where the lining is intentionally visible at certain points, like the sleeves. If excessive lining is showing due to a defect, contact customer support.
