IHJ-88-WHT - Cordura® Windbreaker Jacket - White
-
I got this jacket sweaty and dirty and had to wash it (30deg, gentle cycle, no spin). Unfortunately, there are now heavy creases in the body and sleeves. How should I go about removing them? Internet recommendations for nylon include the following. I couldn't find much specific to Cordura.
(1) dampen fabric and iron with a towel on top
(2) steam (some advise against this)
(3) take it to a dry cleaners and have them do it. -
I love, love, love this jacket!
Not only does this jacket come in a spectacular color that is sorely missing in my wardrobe, but it cleans up so easily! As a bearded man, it is almost impossible to drink coffee and not get speckles of it on my shirt/jacket. Must've happened 3 times today with this jacket. I just got a diaper wipe and wiped it right off. Didn't even have to rub the stain or anything.
The whole reason that I don't have a lot of white is because it gets dirty easily. Then along comes this jacket. Whiter than white and practically stain-proof! BRILLIANT!
Picture from the WAYWT thread:

Diaper wipes often contain various chemicals. I would stick to soap and water.

A few more comments about this jacket.
The sateen sleeves do not breathe and do not allow water vapor to escape. I wore this jacket on a slightly warm day and the sleeves were completely soaked. I had to turn it inside out to dry them. I’ve never had this experience with the 12 (fleece sleeves) or the 59 (sateen sleeves). I’m not sure if the composition of the sateen is the same for this one and the 59.
As posted above, after a wash the jacket had serious creasing. I gave up on removing them myself because it was extremely difficult and I was scared to melt the nylon. I took it to the cleaners and they did it for 5 Euros.
After I got it back from the cleaners I noticed a yellow streak on the jacket. The guy at the cleaners said this was because I let it drip dry and would go away if I washed it again. Fortunately, it became unnoticeable after a few wears.
The nylon on this one is stiffer than the 12 and 68, which means the creases don’t go away so easily with wear. For comparison, the 12 was full of creases after I packed it in my suitcase yesterday. But they disappeared after a few hours. That didn’t happen with the white one.

…procured the last 'camo' version of this from the outlet. From what I've seen stated/pictured for the white version of this is that it has a 'zipper', does the 'camo' version sport a zipper?
...Once I placed the order for that last jacket and the garment was removed from the outlet completely I can't find a photo of it anywhere! :o
I'll be sure to take some shots and post them. Definitely an odd piece for I think this to be the only 'camo' version of anything from IH! Glad I spied it!

This is not the only camo made by Ironheart. There is another camo version of this jacket - IHJ-59, as well as 2 colors of the tiger stripe cpo.
I’m still waiting for something in Arctic camo….

…@DrPat I can live without a zipper but I'm happy it has one ( I could've sworn I saw pics sans zipper on the greenie.) ::)
...you got me a little worried about the sweaty arms though. ???
