FAQs
Do I need to use dressing aid (lube or powder) when wearing a zip-front latex jacket or coat?
Yes, focus lubrication on the sleeves and shoulders. Although the zipper makes the body easy to put on, you must apply a small amount of silicone lube or talcum powder to the inside of the sleeves and across the shoulders. This is crucial to allow the arms to slide in smoothly, reducing friction that stresses the shoulder seams.
How do I prevent makeup or perfume from staining the latex near the collar or lapels?
Avoid direct contact and use powder as a barrier. Many foundations, powders, and perfumes contain oils or alcohol that cause permanent staining or degradation of the latex. Dust the interior edges of the collar and neckline with a layer of talcum powder to create a protective barrier.
What special care is needed for the long zipper and other metal hardware on the coat?
Maintain the zip and isolate hardware. Regularly apply silicone oil (not dressing lube) to the zipper teeth for smooth operation. Crucially, wrap all metal hardware (snaps, buckles, buttons) tightly with acid-free tissue paper when storing, as metal contact causes irreversible chemical stains.
What is the safest way to store a heavy or structured latex coat to prevent permanent creasing or damage?
Use a wide, sturdy, padded hanger. Never fold latex. Hang the coat on a wide, sturdy, wooden or padded hanger that fully supports the shoulder area and allows the collar/lapels to lay flat. Store the coat inside an opaque garment bag in a cool, dark place.
