FAQs

What kind of insulation does the jacket use?

The jacket is insulated with a lightweight fill composed of duck down and duck feathers, providing effective warmth.

How should I wash this jacket?

The jacket is machine washable. For best results, follow the care label instructions, typically using a gentle cycle with a down-specific cleaner and tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls to re-loft the down.

Is the jacket waterproof?

The jacket's lined hood and secure fit offer protection from the elements, but it is not explicitly stated as fully waterproof. The recycled ripstop shell provides some resistance to light moisture.

Does this jacket run true to size?

No, this jacket tends to run large. It is generally recommended to size down for a more optimal fit.

What is the material of the outer shell?

The outer shell is made from recycled polyester ripstop. This material choice helps reduce environmental impact.

Are there other colors or sizes available for this jacket?

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm or flat after washing.

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps of down and restore its loft, which is crucial for insulation. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dry before storage.

The main zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.

Rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth of the zipper. This can help to smooth out any friction and allow for easier operation. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

The jacket seems too large despite ordering your usual size.

This jacket is noted to run large. Consider exchanging it for one size smaller than your usual. If an exchange isn't possible, layering thicker garments underneath can help fill out the jacket and provide additional warmth.

Small feathers are escaping from the jacket.

It's normal for down-filled jackets to shed a small amount of feathers, especially when new. Avoid pulling them out; instead, push them back in from the reverse side to prevent creating larger holes. Over time, this shedding typically reduces.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio due to down and feather fill.
  • Eco-friendly design utilizing recycled polyester ripstop shell.
  • Practical features like a lined hood and zippered pockets for convenience and protection.
  • Secure and comfortable fit provided by elasticated cuffs and hem.
  • Full zip fastening with neck comfort cover enhances wearability in cold conditions.

Cons

  • Sizing tends to run large, potentially requiring customers to size down.
  • While machine washable, special care is needed to maintain down loft and integrity.
  • "Protection from the elements" implies water resistance, not full waterproofing.

This jacket is ready to wear with no complex setup required. It is designed for adult males. For optimal care and to maintain the jacket's insulating properties, it is machine washable. Always check the garment's specific care label for detailed instructions. Typically, down-filled jackets should be washed on a gentle cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent, and tumble dried on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and re-loft the down, preventing clumping and restoring its insulating power. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
