In 1938, Columbia took root in Oregon. Because there were a lot of rainy days in the whole year there, so most of the brand's products were raincoats and rainhats in these early years.

Columbia coats are meant to protect you from the elements, such as snow, ice, rain and wind, while you are skiing, playing with friends and family or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. Washing the coat one to three times per season keeps the item looking and smelling its best. One must be careful when washing one of these coats, however, to avoid changing its shape or otherwise damaging its surface. Inspect the coat and look for any dirt or other particles. Remove such particles usinga soft-bristled brush.
Place a small amount of liquid laundry detergent or a stain remover onto any stained portion of the coat. Columbia Customer Service recommends using a product such as Spray N' Wash. Do not use any detergents that contain bleach. Secure all buttons, zippers and snaps on the jacket. Then, turn the jacket inside out. This prevents the jacket from losing its shape while being washed. Place the jacket and other similar coats inside the washing machine. Do not wash everyday clothes with the coat, as doing so endangers the coat's shape and fabric. Pour the low phosphate/no phosphate powdered laundry detergent into the machine. The amount of detergent varies per the amount of coats you're washing. Follow the instructions on the detergent's box.
Set the washing machine temperature to "cool" to avoid damaging the coat. Run one washing cycle. Then, run one "Rinse" cycle while the machine is still set to "cool." Remove the coat from the machine. Hang the coat to dry outside or in a well-ventilated room if possible. Use the "tumble" cycle in a dryer if it isn't possible to hang the coat. Hanging the coat is always recommended to prevent any damage to the coat's surface of shape.(read
