PRODUCT
How do I wash my KRAKATAU jacket?
All KRAKATAU garments have cleaning instructions on a tag inside the garment. In most jackets, you will find the tag stitched in the seam at the waist. Be sure to zip all zippers, and close all fasteners before you wash your jacket.
For down jackets we recommend that you have your product professionally cleaned by a service that specializes in cleaning down.
If you are not sure about washing your jacket, you can always contact us via webshop@krakatauwear.com for further instructions.
My zipper is broken, what should I do?
If you are having problems with the zipper on your KRAKATAU product, please contact us via webshop@krakatauwear.com so we can help you with a possible solution.
My KRAKATAU jacket is leaking. What can I do?
KRAKATAU jackets are made of a nylon outer fabric that has been treated at the mill with durable water repellency, called DWR. In order to revive the DWR, the product needs to be thoroughly cleaned according to the care label. When cleaning your KRAKATAU jacket, be sure to attach all closures and zip all zippers. Finally, the entire outside of the garment should be touched up with a warm iron on the steam setting. This process should revive the DWR. For even better performance, treat your product with a coating of a DWR spray.
My size is not available, will you restock?
If a size is not available, please contact us via webshop@krakatauwear.com. We are happy to inform you about a possible restock and can help you find your wanted size.
