Do you know what sort of fabric is in a softshell jacket -- nylon? I haven't heard of the term, so I'm not sure myself ;)

Do you know the make / model of your jacket? That information might lead to manufacturer information that might help!

# How to do iron-on transfers on a softshell jacket

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-05)

I recently learned about the existence of [iron-on transfer papers](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B0000C0CIR), and how it allows someone to transfer a print onto cotton fabrics with any custom design a person can print from their inkjet printers.

However, I have not been that lucky when it comes to other kinds of fabric. In particular, I want to transfer a picture to a softshell jacket. I have found online shops that offer the service (unfortunately far from my location and the delivery is not possible or too expensive), but I am wondering if there is a way to do it at home without specialized equipment.

(**Update replying to the comment:** I myself am very new to the term as well, and it seems there is no clear consensus on what it is or not softshell. The best approach I have been able to find mentions polyester. But in general I am thinking of a light jacket that is slightly water resistant -not waterproof-, fit for sports like running or riding. I hope this is not too broad of an answer!)
