FAQs
Is this coat truly waterproof?
The Roman Waxed Longline Hooded Coat is designed to keep *unexpected showers* at bay and offer light water resistance. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What does 'waxed' mean for this coat's material?
In this context, 'waxed' refers to the coat's stylish appearance, giving it a classic look. Unlike traditional waxed cotton, which requires re-waxing, this coat is made from a machine-washable blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane, offering convenience without the special care of true waxed fabric.
How do I choose the correct size?
The coat is available in UK women's dress sizes. We recommend checking Roman's specific size guide if available, and considering your usual coat size. The adjustable waist allows for some flexibility in fit.
Can I wear this coat in winter?
This coat is best suited for mild to cool transitional weather (spring and autumn) and offers protection from light showers. For colder winter conditions, you may need to layer significantly underneath or opt for a coat designed for colder temperatures.
What are the washing instructions for this coat?
This coat is machine washable. Please use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Air drying is recommended to maintain its shape and fabric integrity. Avoid tumble drying.
Does the coat have an inside pocket?
The product description mentions 'pockets too,' implying external pockets for convenience. It does not specifically state the presence of an inside pocket. You can check the garment upon arrival.
Is the hood removable?
The description states 'adjustable waist and hood,' but it does not mention if the hood is removable. Typically, if a hood is removable, it would be highlighted as a key feature.
What is the actual length of the coat?
The length of this coat is approximately 92cm from the shoulder to the hem.
Troubleshooting
Coat feels too tight or too loose around the waist.
Utilize the adjustable waist feature. Tighten or loosen the drawstrings or tabs to achieve your desired fit and comfort level.
Hood doesn't stay up or provide enough coverage.
Adjust the hood drawstrings for a snugger fit around your head. Ensure the front opening is pulled securely to protect from wind and rain.
Coat doesn't seem to repel water effectively anymore.
While designed for showers, it's not fully waterproof. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and poppers are fastened. If regular washing has diminished its light water resistance, consider a fabric-appropriate water-repellent spray, ensuring it's suitable for cotton/polyester blends and 'waxed' finishes.
Creases appear after washing.
After washing, gently reshape the coat and hang it to air dry. If creases persist, iron on a low setting, using a protective cloth between the iron and the coat surface, or iron inside out.
Material feels stiff after drying.
This can happen with cotton-rich fabrics. Ensure it's fully air-dried and gently flex the fabric. Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying, which can make fibers stiff.
