01 / PRODUCT & SIZING
Product & sizing.
What is Cold Retro – Edition 001?
Cold Retro – Edition 001 is our first jacket: a retro ski & snowboard jacket with a unisex, slightly oversized fit, in sizes S to XL and one colourway (brown, cream, red and blue). It is sold as a pre-order and is expected to be delivered in January 2027.
Is Edition 001 suitable for skiing and snowboarding?
Yes, Edition 001 is designed as a ski & snowboard jacket. It is being developed to a minimum waterproofing requirement of 15,000 mm. Target breathability: 10,000–15,000 g/m²/24h, subject to final material and product verification. These are development targets, not yet independently tested results; we will share the final specifications once they are confirmed.
Is the jacket unisex?
Yes. Edition 001 has a unisex fit and is made for everyone.
How does Edition 001 fit?
The fit is unisex and slightly oversized: relaxed through the body, with room for winter layers, without being overly baggy.
Which sizes are available?
Edition 001 comes in S, M, L and XL.
How do I choose the right size?
Edition 001 is being designed with a slightly oversized unisex fit, with room for layers. You can find our target garment measurements for sizes S, M, L and XL in the Size guide on the product page. These measurements come from our technical specifications and may be adjusted after sample fitting. They are garment measurements, not body measurements. If you’re unsure about sizing, contact us at info@coldretro.com.
Is Edition 001 waterproof?
Edition 001 is being developed to a minimum of 15,000 mm waterproofing. This is a development requirement, not yet an independently tested result. We will publish the confirmed specification once testing is complete.
Is the jacket breathable?
Target breathability: 10,000–15,000 g/m²/24h, subject to final material and product verification. This is a development target, not yet an independently tested result.
What features does the jacket have?
The jacket is being developed with a high collar and fixed hood, zipped side pockets and interior storage, a ski-pass pocket on the sleeve, an interior mesh goggle pocket, an integrated snow skirt, inner wrist gaiters, underarm ventilation and adjustable hem drawcords. These details are planned for the first sample and have not been confirmed yet.
Are the product images real photographs?
No. The current product and campaign images are design visualisations, not photos of a finished sample. Colours, details and proportions may change during sampling. We will share real sample photos as soon as they are available.
Can I choose different colours?
Edition 001 is available in one colourway: brown, cream, red and blue.
How should I wash and care for my jacket?
Care instructions depend on the final materials, which are still being confirmed. We will publish them once they are final, and they will be on the care label of your jacket.
02 / PRE-ORDERS & PAYMENTS
Pre-orders & payments.
How does the pre-order process work?
Edition 001 is a pre-order: the jacket is not ready to ship yet. Choose your size on the jacket page and how you want to pay: in full now with 10% off (€265.50), or a €50 deposit now and the remaining €245 later (€295 total). Shipping costs are shown separately at checkout. After the first production run and delivery to us, your jacket is shipped. Expected delivery: January 2027.
How much does Edition 001 cost?
The jacket costs €295. If you pay in full now, you pay €265.50 (10% off the jacket). If you choose the deposit, you pay €50 now and €245 later, €295 in total. Shipping costs are added separately at checkout.
Is the €50 deposit an additional charge?
No. The €50 deposit is part of the €295 jacket price. After the deposit, €245 remains.
When do I pay the remaining €245?
When your jacket is ready to ship, we email you a payment link for the remaining €245 on your original order. Nothing is charged automatically and your payment details are not stored for this. You choose: pay it straight away and we ship your jacket, or tell us you prefer to receive your jacket first and pay the remaining €245 within 14 days after delivery with the same link. No balance is requested for a cancelled order.
If you pay in full, there is no remaining balance.
Can I pay with Klarna?
Yes. Klarna is one of the payment methods at checkout, both when you pay in full and for the deposit. The payment methods you can use are always shown at checkout before you pay.
Why do you need 50 pre-orders?
A first production run is only possible from a minimum quantity. That is why we need at least 50 paid jacket pre-orders by 15 November 2026 at 23:59 CET before the first production run can go ahead. If the minimum is not reached, all payments are refunded.
What is the deadline for the first production run?
Our first production run requires at least 50 paid jacket pre-orders by 15 November 2026 at 23:59 CET.
Both deposit and full-payment pre-orders count towards this minimum. Cancelled and refunded orders are excluded.
If the minimum is not reached, affected orders will be cancelled and all payments received will be refunded, including any shipping charges.
If the minimum is reached, pre-orders will remain open after this date.
Expected delivery: January 2027.
What happens if the minimum is not reached?
Then the affected orders will be cancelled and all payments received will be refunded in full, including any shipping charges. You do not need to do anything for this.
Can I still pre-order after 15 November?
Yes, if the minimum is reached. Pre-orders then remain open after 15 November 2026 at 23:59 CET.
Does adding a jacket to my cart reserve it?
No. Adding a jacket to your bag does not reserve it. Your size is reserved once your payment at checkout is complete.
Can I change my size after ordering?
Please email info@coldretro.com as soon as possible with your order number and the size you would like. Before production starts, we will check whether your size can still be changed and let you know.
Will I receive confirmation of my pre-order?
Yes. After your payment at checkout you receive an order confirmation by email with your order number and order details.
03 / PRODUCTION & DELIVERY
Production & delivery.
When will my Edition 001 jacket be delivered?
Expected delivery is January 2027. This is an estimate that depends on sampling, production and transport. We will let you know if the timing changes.
When will production begin?
If the minimum of 50 paid jackets is reached by 15 November 2026 at 23:59 CET, we start preparing the first production run. We will email you when production has officially started.
How can I follow the production progress?
We keep you informed by email. During active production you receive a progress update every 14 days, as well as an update whenever an important milestone is reached.
What kind of production updates will I receive?
Updates about confirmed progress: the production decision, the start of production, important production milestones, the end of production and quality control, and shipping. We only share steps that have actually been completed.
Will I receive updates if I pre-order after 15 November?
Yes. If you pre-order later, you receive all future relevant updates for your order.
What happens if production or delivery is delayed?
We will tell you as soon as possible, with the new expected timing. A delay does not affect your consumer rights or your right to cancel or withdraw.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs depend on your delivery address and are shown separately at checkout, before you pay.
Which countries do you ship to?
Checkout shows the countries we currently ship to. If your country is not listed, email info@coldretro.com.
Can I track my order?
Yes. When your order ships, you receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information.
Can I change my delivery address?
Yes, as long as your order has not shipped yet. Email info@coldretro.com with your order number and the new address.
Will I have to pay import duties or customs fees?
Deliveries within the EU have no import duties. For deliveries outside the EU, import duties or taxes may apply. Please email info@coldretro.com before ordering and we will tell you what applies to your country.
What happens if my package is lost or arrives damaged?
Your jacket is our responsibility until it has been delivered to you. If your package is lost or arrives damaged, email info@coldretro.com with your order number (and photos if it is damaged) and we will find a solution at no cost to you.
04 / CANCELLATIONS & RETURNS
Cancellations & returns.
Can I cancel my pre-order?
Yes. You can cancel your pre-order free of charge before production officially starts. Everything you paid is refunded in full, and if you paid a deposit, the remaining €245 no longer has to be paid.
How do I cancel my pre-order?
Email info@coldretro.com with your order number and the email address you used for your order. We will confirm your cancellation by email.
Can I cancel after production has started?
After production has started, you can no longer cancel free of charge under our pre-order cancellation, but your legal right of withdrawal still applies: you can withdraw until 14 days after you receive your jacket, without giving a reason.
Can I return my jacket if it doesn't fit?
Yes. You can withdraw within 14 days after receiving the jacket, without giving a reason. After telling us, you have another 14 days to send the jacket back.
How do I request a return?
Email info@coldretro.com within 14 days after receiving your jacket, with your order number and the email address you used for your order. We will confirm your request and send you the return instructions.
Do I have to explain why I'm returning my jacket?
No. A reason is never required to withdraw. If you want to tell us why, it helps us improve the jacket, but it is entirely optional.
Who pays for return shipping?
For a normal return, you pay the direct cost of sending the jacket back. If the jacket is defective or you received the wrong item, we cover the costs.
Can I try on the jacket before returning it?
Yes. You may handle and try on the jacket as you would in a shop to check its size, look and quality. If it is used more than that and its value goes down as a result, that loss of value may be deducted from your refund in line with the applicable rules.
When will I receive my refund?
When you withdraw, we refund within 14 days of the day you told us. We may wait until we have received the jacket back or you have shown proof that you sent it, whichever comes first. We confirm your refund by email once it has actually been processed.
How will I receive my refund?
We refund each payment to the payment method you used for it, at no cost to you. The refund includes the standard delivery costs you paid.
What happens if my jacket is defective?
Email info@coldretro.com with your order number and a description or photos of the problem. Under your statutory consumer rights you are entitled to a suitable solution free of charge, such as repair or replacement, or otherwise a price reduction or refund.
Can I exchange my jacket for another size?
Please email info@coldretro.com with your order number and the size you need, and we will look at the options with you. You can always return the jacket under your right of withdrawal and place a new pre-order in another size.
What happens if my pre-order is cancelled because the minimum isn't reached?
We cancel your order and refund all payments received in full, including any shipping charges, to your original payment method. You do not need to do anything, and we will confirm the refund by email once it has been processed.
