Is it possible to wash the this Jacket?Why hook & loop closure, instead of press studs?

•  Press studs are prone to tearing out - this is because the force of opening the stud is concentrated on the small area of material it is attached to, and this gradually becomes fatigued every time the jacket is opened/closed. This is especially problematic for FR material, where the material is not as thick/dense as leather.
  
•  Preventing this requires adding layers of reinforcement material which adds unnecessary weight and cost to the garment.
  
•  Studs also conduct heat (& electrical current) and require insulating.
  
• Studs do not provide complete closure, the gaps between each stud can be penetrated by spatter, sparks, etc.
  
• Use of hook & loop keeps the garment as light as possible, and provide a better seal against spatter/sparks.
