5. Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Carhartt C003 coat.

Washing Instructions:

• Machine Wash: This garment is suitable for machine washing.
• Refer to the care label inside the garment for specific temperature and drying instructions to prevent shrinkage or damage to the insulation.
• Close all zippers and fasteners before washing to prevent snagging.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your Carhartt C003 coat.

Common Issues:

• Stiffness: New duck canvas coats can feel stiff. This is normal and the fabric will soften with wear and washing.
• Zipper Malfunction: If the two-way zipper becomes difficult to operate, ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., wax or silicone spray) if needed.
• Water Repellency Reduction: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. This can often be restored by washing and tumble drying on low heat, or by applying a fabric-specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
• Insulation Flattening: Avoid prolonged compression of the coat during storage to maintain the loft and insulating properties of the arctic-weight polyester.
