Please email us shop@postalco.com with your questions about size, fabric, or fit anytime.

Why do we make so few sizes?

We pattern our clothing to fit as many bodies as we can. Less size variation also means less wasted fabric and less overproduction.

Clothing for men? Or women?

Postalco items have always been non gendered. Beginning with the very first Legal Envelopes we made back in 2000.

Material


Shear-Dry Nylon

Many waterproof fabrics have a thin plastic or rubber film glued to the inside of the fabric. These plastic layers often give fabric an unpleasant stiffness and also reduce breathability. The Postalco Shear-Dry nylon water repellency treatment is fused directly into the fabric. Since Shear-Dry nylon is treated inside, outside and between the fibers, the treatment is much more durable than traditional water resistant treated fabric. Made in Japan.


Treatment safety

Woven in Japan from 100% PFAS-free nylon.

 

Care

・Do not use fabric softener or detergents with fabric softener.
・Hand wash with a mild detergent or dry clean.
・Do not store wet.
・Avoid direct sunlight and dry in shade. After drying, iron low heat.
・Place fabric layer over item while ironing.
・Ironing smoothes the surface and helps improve water repellency.
・Durable water repellency may decline with use and washing over time.
