FAQs
What does 'Balloon fit' mean?
The 'Balloon fit' refers to a relaxed, boxy, and oversized silhouette with dropped shoulders, designed for a comfortable and contemporary look.
How do I care for the pigment-dyed fabric?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Iron on a low setting. The color is designed to fade slightly over time, enhancing its unique character.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The heavyweight cotton offers good warmth, but it is primarily designed for transitional weather or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, additional layers may be necessary.
What is the main benefit of the pigment dyeing?
Pigment dyeing gives the fabric a washed, saturated hue and a softer feel. It also means the color will evolve and fade slightly with wear and washing, creating a unique look over time.
Can I wear this jacket for physical activities?
While durable, the 'Balloon fit' and heavyweight cotton are optimized for comfort and style rather than high-intensity athletic performance. It's ideal for casual activities and everyday wear.
Does the hood offer significant rain protection?
The hood is padded and lined, offering protection against light wind and drizzle. It is not waterproof and not intended for heavy rain.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket features an oversized 'Balloon fit'. For a baggier fit, take your usual size. If you prefer a less oversized look, consider sizing down one size.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too large or oversized
Consider sizing down one size if a less voluminous fit is desired. Refer to the product description for fit details.
Color seems uneven or faded
This is a normal characteristic of the pigment-dying process, intended to create a unique, worn-in look. It does not indicate a defect.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to realign the zipper pull and slide slowly. If persistent, contact customer support.
Ribbed cuffs/hem losing elasticity
Avoid excessive stretching of the ribbed areas. Follow washing and drying instructions carefully to preserve elasticity.
