FAQ: Choosing and Caring for Jackets and Coats
Which jackets are best suited for the transitional seasons?
It can often be difficult to dress for spring and fall. Experience shows that layering is often the best solution. An overshirt made of heavy wool or cotton, a light blouson, or a lined everyday jacket works well as an outer layer on mild days and can be worn under a heavier coat when it gets colder.
When should you choose between GORE-TEX jackets and wool coats?
It all depends on your specific needs:
- GORE-TEX: A synthetic material designed to keep out rain and wind while allowing your body to breathe. It’s the top recommendation for wet and windy days.
- Wool coats: Wool is a natural, temperature-regulating material that repels a small amount of moisture and offers a more tailored, classic look. It’s ideal for dry, cold days.
What’s the best way to care for a wool coat and a GORE-TEX jacket?
If you want your outerwear to last longer, here are a few tips:
Wool coat: A wool coat rarely benefits from washing. Instead, it’s recommended to brush it regularly with a soft clothes brush to remove dust and hang it outdoors to air out. For stubborn stains, it should be sent to a professional dry cleaner.
GORE-TEX jacket: Can be gently washed on a delicate cycle with liquid, enzyme-free detergent. To preserve the water-repellent surface, it is recommended to tumble dry it on low heat or re-waterproof it after washing.
