FAQs
Is the Gorham Down Jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent fabric, meaning it can resist light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof and not designed for heavy or prolonged precipitation.
What kind of insulation does this jacket use?
It is insulated with 650-fill-power down, consisting of 75% duck down and 25% duck feathers, providing lightweight yet effective warmth.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the Gorham Down Jacket is equipped with a detachable drawstring hood, allowing you to customize your level of protection and style.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?
A 'regular fit' means the jacket is cut for comfort, allowing for a standard range of motion and light layering underneath. It generally fits true to your usual size.
Are the materials used in the jacket sustainable?
Yes, the shell and hood fill are made from 100% recycled polyester. The down filling is also RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified, ensuring ethical sourcing practices.
How should I store my down jacket when not in use?
To maintain the loft and prolong the life of the down, store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide hanger or loosely folded. Avoid compressing it in a small space for extended periods.
Can I wear this jacket in very extreme cold?
The 650-fill-power down provides excellent warmth for general cold weather. For extremely harsh, sub-zero conditions, you may need to layer significantly or opt for a jacket with a higher fill power or specialized extreme-cold rating.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels flat or less puffy after washing.
This is common with down. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The agitation from the balls will help redistribute and fluff the down feathers, restoring the jacket's loft. Ensure it is completely dry.
Jacket isn't keeping me as warm as expected.
Ensure all closures, including the main two-way zipper (fully zipped), adjustable cuffs, and drawstring hem, are tightened to seal in warmth. Also, ensure the detachable hood is properly cinched if needed. Layering appropriately underneath can also enhance warmth.
Water repellency seems to have diminished over time.
The water-repellent finish can wear off with extended use and washing. First, try cleaning the jacket thoroughly as dirt can hinder repellency. If the issue persists, consider re-treating the outer shell with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product designed for technical outerwear.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the loft and performance of your down jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. As a general guide for down-filled items:
- Preparation: Close all zippers and fasteners. Turn the jacket inside out.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a specialized down cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with two or three clean tennis balls. The tennis balls help to break up clumps of down and restore the jacket's loft. This process may take several hours. Ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hung or loosely folded to maintain loft. Avoid compressing it for extended periods.
