Uskees Ripstop Field Jacket

The Uskees Ripstop Field Jacket in Blueberry is a technical outer layer utilizing a specialized 245gsm blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester. The non-tear ripstop weave—originally engineered for parachutes—provides an incredibly durable shell that resists punctures and abrasion during outdoor work. This lightweight jacket balances a classic military aesthetic with modern sustainable utility, offering a sturdy and breathable barrier for daily exploration.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This jacket features a standard profile designed to be worn true to size, offering a balanced cut that allows for light layering underneath.
• The 245gsm ripstop fabric provides a structured, slightly architectural drape that sits comfortably on the body while effectively holding its shape.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for a clean, tailored fit, as the raglan sleeve construction naturally accommodates broader shoulders.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30°C to preserve the integrity of the organic cotton fibres and the technical ripstop weave.
• Use a non-biological detergent to protect the deep Blueberry pigment and prevent chemical damage to the recycled polyester yarns.
• Wash the jacket with similar colours to avoid any potential pigment transfer and ensure the hardware does not snag other garments.
• Tumble dry on a low heat setting; however, hanging to dry naturally will help maintain the crisp texture and the original fit of the jacket.
• Iron on the reverse side only at a medium temperature to redefine the pocket gussets and collar without compromising the fabric surface.

Our Uskees Ripstop Field Jacket FAQs

1. What is the benefit of ripstop fabric?
   It uses a cross-hatch reinforcement technique that makes the material incredibly resistant to ripping and tearing, ensuring the jacket survives rugged daily use.

2. Is this jacket waterproof?
   While the dense 245gsm weave offers decent windproofing and can handle a light mist, it is a breathable cotton-based shell rather than a fully taped waterproof raincoat.

3. Are the chest pockets large enough for a phone?
   Yes, the gusseted design allows the pockets to expand, providing ample space for modern smartphones or small technical tools.

4. Will the Blueberry colour fade like denim?
   Because it is a cotton-rich blend, it will develop a beautiful, personal character over time, but following the 30°C wash instructions will keep the base colour rich for longer.
