Lyle and Scott Zip Through Jacket - Green

The jacket is suitable for "unpredictable weather," implying it offers some resistance to light moisture. However, it is not explicitly described as waterproof, so it's best for light rain and not sustained heavy downpours.

Given its material composition and description, this jacket is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, and cooler summer evenings. It serves as a great lightweight outer layer or a mid-layer in colder conditions.

Info needed: Please refer to the official Lyle & Scott size guide for jackets. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the brand's sizing chart to find the best fit. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.

No, the care instructions specify "Machine wash" but do not mention tumble drying. It is strongly recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve its fabric integrity, shape, and prevent shrinkage.

The blend combines the softness and breathability of cotton with the durability and slight wind/water resistance of nylon. This results in a comfortable, versatile fabric that offers a good balance of natural feel and practical performance.

For most stains, pre-treat the affected area with a gentle stain remover suitable for cotton/nylon blends, following the product's instructions. Then, machine wash the jacket according to the care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle).

Gently rub a pencil graphite or a small amount of bar soap along the teeth of the zipper. Work the zipper up and down a few times to distribute the lubricant. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper path.

Ensure you are washing the jacket with cold water on a gentle cycle, and using a detergent formulated for colored garments. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals. Always air dry the jacket to prevent heat damage.

Inspect the snap for any visible damage or bent components. If slightly bent, you may be able to gently reshape it with small pliers. If broken, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

This can sometimes occur with cotton blends if over-dried or air-dried in a very cold environment. Gently flex and manipulate the fabric. A quick, low-heat tumble dry (if care label permits and for a very short duration) with dryer balls could help, but air drying is generally recommended.
