Product Information
Full details
Designed for active girls who appreciate a classic, refined aesthetic, the Polo Ralph Lauren Garment-Dyed Jacket offers a sophisticated layer for casual wear and transitional weather. Its primary benefit is the unique, soft texture and character achieved through specialized dyeing, which ensures a lived-in feel from the first wear. A notable caveat for parents is that the garment-dyed process is intentionally designed to evolve over time, meaning the vibrant blue color will naturally fade and change with wash and wear.

This jacket uses a garment-dyeing process that provides a unique, vintage-inspired look and a soft texture right out of the box.
Will the color fade?
Yes, it is designed to gradually fade and develop unique color variations over time, which is a characteristic of the dye process.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To preserve the integrity of the garment-dyed cotton, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Because of the specialized dyeing technique, color transfer may occur, especially during the first few washes, so it is best to wash with like-colored items. Avoid using harsh bleach or heavy detergents that could strip the pigment prematurely. For drying, a low-heat cycle or air-drying flat is ideal to maintain the garment's shape and prevent shrinking. If you need to iron the jacket, do so on a low setting while the fabric is slightly damp to avoid scorching the cotton fibers.
