Product Overview
The 2786 Women's Tribe Fineline Padded Jacket is a sophisticated example of contemporary workwear, balancing aesthetic appeal with practical utility. This jacket is specifically designed with a flattering, structured shape that avoids the bulkiness often associated with insulated outerwear. It serves as a versatile layer that is equally at home in a corporate office environment as it is in a retail or hospitality setting. The lightweight nature of the garment makes it an ideal choice for year-round wear, providing just the right amount of warmth without restricting movement.
Key Features
- Tonal Coil Zip with Internal Storm Flap: The centre front zip features a colour-matched design for a streamlined look, while the storm flap and chin guard provide essential protection against the wind and prevent irritation.
- Horizontal Narrow Baffles: These narrow baffles are meticulously stitched to keep the insulation evenly distributed, ensuring consistent warmth and a modern, textured appearance.
- Concealed Zip Pockets: Discrete teardrop pullers allow for secure storage of essential items while maintaining the jacket's clean, elegant lines.
- Stretch Binding on Cuffs and Hem: This functional detail creates a secure fit that helps to trap heat and prevent cold air from entering the garment.
- Included Packable Bag: For the professional on the move, the jacket can be easily compressed into its own bag, making it a convenient option for travel or changing weather conditions.
Design & Performance
The construction of this jacket focuses on durability and thermal efficiency. The outer shell and lining are crafted from 100% nylon, a material chosen for its strength and resistance to wind. Inside, a lightweight polyester fill provides a reliable thermal barrier. The 'sandwiched' baffle design is not merely for style; it ensures the insulation remains in place even after repeated wear. The internal binding on all seams further enhances the garment's longevity, preventing fraying and maintaining the internal structure of the jacket over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket has been designed with rebrandability in mind, featuring a cut-away label to allow for a bespoke finish. It is highly suitable for both print and embroidery, giving you flexibility in how you present your brand. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a sophisticated, professional appearance, allowing company logos or staff names to be rendered in high-quality thread. For larger, more striking visual designs, print provides a crisp and vibrant alternative. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, uses expert techniques to ensure your branding remains durable and clear on the nylon surface.
Use Cases
This jacket is particularly well-suited for client-facing roles where a professional yet relaxed appearance is required. It is an excellent choice for hospitality staff working in alfresco dining areas, retail teams, or as part of a corporate travel uniform. Its packable nature also makes it a favourite for commuters and field-based professionals who need reliable outerwear that can be easily stowed away when not in use.

Practical Advice
This jacket is designed with a feminine fit and is available in sizes ranging from XS to 2XL. We recommend layering it over a lightweight polo shirt or blouse for a professional look. If you intend to wear it over a heavier sweatshirt or fleece during colder months, you may wish to consider the next size up to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders and chest.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical performance of your jacket is straightforward but requires adherence to specific care guidelines. We recommend a gentle machine wash at 30°C. Using a mild detergent at this lower temperature helps to preserve the integrity of the nylon shell and prevents the polyester fill from clumping, ensuring the jacket retains its shape and insulating properties.
Do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will degrade the synthetic fibres and can cause significant damage to your custom embroidery or print. To further protect the garment, it should not be tumble dried. High heat from a dryer can melt the nylon fabric and damage the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem. Instead, we recommend hanging the jacket to air dry.
If the jacket requires ironing, use a low heat setting only. Avoid direct heat on any printed or embroidered areas to prevent distortion. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical solvents used in the process can interfere with the insulation and the adhesives used in custom branding.
