Universal Works x Taion Soft Shell Down Cardigan - Our FAQs

1. Is this cardigan completely waterproof? No it is engineered primarily as a windproof highly water resistant protective layer. While the premium technical soft shell fabric handles light drizzle and mist effortlessly it is not a fully seam taped waterproof shell built for heavy downpours.
2. Will the down feathers leak out of the seams? No the brand utilises a high quality down proof internal baffle construction designed to securely trap the insulating down fill within the garment walls minimising feather migration.
3. Can this be worn comfortably indoors? Thanks to the lightweight technical soft shell face and highly breathable down composition the cardigan regulates temperature incredibly well preventing you from instantly overheating when stepping inside a shop or train station.
4. Is the fit boxy or slim? It strikes a clean balanced regular profile providing a boxier workwear silhouette that drapes straight down from the shoulders without looking overly baggy or restricting your movement.
5. What are the benefits of a collarless neck line? The V neck design allows the cardigan to sit completely flat under external jackets without adding any unnecessary fabric bulk around your neck making it a far superior layering piece compared to a traditional collared down jacket.
