Men's Cotton Canvas Jacket - Sapphire Blue

Both. The canvas jacket has 2 chest pockets, 2 side pockets and 1 inner zippered pocket, a button front closure, and reinforced stitching at stress points. It's built to be worn hard, not hung up. That said, it looks sharp enough for most occasions short of a formal dinner.

Cold machine wash or hand wash. Use a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry — air dry on a hanger to hold the shape. Do not dry clean unless absolutely necessary, as solvents can strip the natural oils in the weave. Iron on medium heat while slightly damp to remove creases.

Some fading is natural and expected — and for most canvas jacket wearers, it's part of the appeal. The jacket will develop its own patina with wear and washing. To slow fading, wash inside out in cold water and dry in shade.

Yes. We use naturally dyed or piece-dyed cotton canvas, and slight tonal variation is a characteristic of the fabric — not a defect. No two jackets are identical. That's the point.

Canvas is a year-round fabric in most of India and barring hot summer months, it can be usable in mild to cool weather. It's substantial enough for cool mornings and hill town evenings, yet breathes well enough for Pune or Bangalore winters. It's not a replacement for a heavy winter coat in extreme cold, but it's a reliable layer for 8–9 months of the year across most of the country.

Natural cotton canvas can shrink 3–5% on the first wash. To minimise this, wash in cold water and air dry flat. We cut our jackets with this in mind, so if you follow the care instructions, the fit remains true to size.

Yes, intentionally so. Raw cotton canvas has a structured body that softens over weeks of wear. Think of it like a new pair of raw denim — it starts firm and shapes itself to you. By the end of the first month, it moves with you rather than against you.

Yes. We deliver pan-India through reliable courier partners. Orders are typically dispatched within 2–3 working days, and we will share tracking details via WhatsApp and email once we ship your order.

Yes — we're open to it. As a small independent brand we don't have a standard international shipping setup yet, but if you're based outside India and want to order, get in touch with us directly at support@theruggedsoul.com and we'll work it out with you.

A few things worth knowing upfront. We'll need to look into import regulations and duties specific to your country before confirming, so there may be a short turnaround before we can give you a clear picture. Once we have it, we'll share a full breakdown of shipping costs (the garment base cost will be the same as what you see in INR converted to your currency) and any applicable customs duties before you commit to the order — no surprises landing at your door. International shipments are also subject to factors outside our control — geopolitical disruptions, customs delays, and the like — which we'll be transparent about as well.

Because managing returns across borders isn't practical for either party, we won't be able to offer the same return and exchange window that applies to domestic orders. To make sure we get the fit right the first time, we'll ask you for some detailed measurements before the order is confirmed — chest, shoulders, and ideally the measurements of an existing jacket or shirt that fits you well and comfortably. This way we can match you to the right size with confidence before anything ships.

Write to us at support@theruggedsoul.com and we'll take it from there.
