FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to handle light rain and showers, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy rain.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the insulation loft and the water-repellent finish.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a fixed design to ensure maximum warmth and protection against the wind.
How do I use the address label?
There is a dedicated internal label where you can write the child's name or contact details using a permanent marker.
Does it have a warm lining?
Yes, the jacket features synthetic insulation throughout to provide warmth in cold conditions.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
The pockets are designed for children's items such as gloves, tissues, or small toys, but may not be large enough for larger modern smartphones.
Troubleshooting
The zip feels stiff or stuck
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth and ensure the puller is aligned correctly; avoid forcing it.
Jacket is starting to absorb water
The water-repellent finish may need reactivating; washing it correctly or applying a specialized DWR spray can restore performance.
Elasticated cuffs feel loose
Ensure the garment is the correct size. If it is the correct size, ensure the sleeves are not being pulled up constantly during play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the Regatta Lofthouse in prime condition, always follow the care label instructions. Because of the water-repellent coating, avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the treatment. When the jacket gets dirty, it is best to machine wash on a gentle cycle. For drying, we recommend air-drying on a hanger away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the synthetic fibers. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard school uniforms or casual base layers, offering a standard fit that is neither too tight nor excessively loose.
