Sizing and fitting

Our size charts always show the measurements of the item of clothing, not the measurements of the person for whom the corresponding size would fit. This is because many of our items are cut differently than standard clothing, and hopefully this will give you a better idea of how the garment might fit.

Since the technical cutting patterns of our products are often deliberately different from standard items in order to achieve a specific fit, choosing the right size can be more difficult. If possible, use thejacket measurements given in the size chart and take into account the additional information provided with each product. For women, we generally recommend choosing a product at least one size smaller.In the case of Kim's Aerostatic jackets, a general recommendation can be made (but not only!) based on the person's height, which is as follows:

XXS 160-165cm/ 5.25- 5.4 feet
XS 165-170cm/ 5.4-5.56 feet
S 170-175cm/ 5.56-5.74 feet
M 175-182cm/ 5.74-5.97 feet
L 182-187cm/ 5.97-6.14 feet
XL 187-192cm/ 6.14-6.30 feet
XXL 190-cm/ 6.23- feet

It's definitely not recommended to go based on this alone, because all of our bodies are different, and only taking this information into account may not guarantee a suitable fit for you. Unfortunately, if you order the wrong size, the product cannot be exchanged. If you have any doubts, please write to us at customerservice@zaumstudio.com and we will try to help you.

Product information

All of our products have washing instructions inside, which information should be used first. If the product is machine washable, we always recommend choosing the coldest and gentlest possible program. For delicate clothes, the product can always be hand-washed. You shouldn’t put clothes in the dryer, as it damages the clothing fibre. If you have more detailed questions about the care of some products that are not listed below, write to us at customerservice@zaumstudio.com

Kim's Aerostatic Pilot jacket shell is made of 100% cotton dry-waxed fabric and Aerostatic Crewman jacket is made of 100% waxed cotton. Waxed cotton fabric is a material with a long history and use, which has many unique properties. Over time, waxed fabrics develop marks, scuffs, and patinas that are the inherent characteristics of waxed garments. They make each jacket unique to the wearer and should not be taken as faults.

Waxed fabric has a few rules:

  • if possible, do not wash the jacket
  • do not use soap or fabric softener when washing
  • do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron or dry clean
  • if necessary, we recommend hand-washing

Care between wear:

  • Brush off any loose dirt or grit with a soft clean shoe brush
  • Try to avoid spot-cleaning, as it will lighten the area by removing some wax.
  • If unavoidable, widen the cleaning area considerably. Soak and scrub lightly with a soft brush.
  • Dry, check, and repeat if necessary.
  • Let the jacket air out

If washing is essential, soak the jacket in cold water and wash the jacket gently by hand. However, we ask you to pay attention to the reflectors and the zipper slides when washing, because rubbing can damage their quality. The jacket should be waxed again after every thorough cleaning and also after long-term wearing.

Reproof (re-waxing) your jacket:

  • Brush off any loose dirt with a brush
  • If needed, use cold water and a sponge to clean out extra dirt
  • Hang until completely dry
  • Get some reproofing wax for cotton (e.g. Otter Wax) & FOLLOW WAX INSTRUCTIONS.

Re-waxing will restore some of the original shine, pronounced marks, and scuffs.

Machine washing or dry cleaning of the jacket is the sole responsibility of the customer. They should be used as an absolute last resort. For machine washing, the jacket must be zipped, the pocket zipper slides must be placed under the hem and the jacket must be turned inside out. Wash with cold water and a gentle program. Despite the precautions, machine washing can damage the print on the jacket's reflectors and the zipper sliders. For dry cleaning, all reflectors and the zipper sliders should be covered with some protective material. The print on the reflectors is not intended for dry cleaning.

These are functional pockets and sewn shut for the finished look. This technique is usually used to ensure that the pockets in the store do not stretch out and lose their shape. Although no one tries our jackets and they come directly from the seamstress, it has always been her desire to sew these pockets shut. A separate seam has been used for this and the thread should be loose. You can pull it or cut it with small scissors. Please feel free to open them up and use them!

Kim’s Aerostatic Pilot jackets are restocked every month. Please sign up on our website to be notified when the new drop is coming. We’ll send out a newsletter a few days before. We’re working on restocking all the items, information will be sent via the newsletter.

Generally, Atelier Zaum does not offer special requests. The question here is not whether we can do it or not, it's our policy that we don't offer the customer any design changes that make this jacket unique or significantly different from others. However, with very few changes we may be able to meet your request. Please feel free to contact customerservice@zaumstudio.com for detailed information and
support.
