FAQs
What is the primary material of the Joules Crofton Gilet?
The main and lining materials are 100% Nylon, while the wadding is 100% Polyester.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The gilet provides lightweight warmth due to its wadding and is showerproof, making it ideal for transitional weather. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece under a warmer coat.
How should I clean the gilet?
The gilet is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours and tumble dry on a low heat.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Yes, it features two zipped side pockets for secure storage.
What does 'showerproof' mean for this gilet?
Showerproof means the fabric is treated to resist light rain and water penetration, keeping the wearer dry in brief or light showers. It is not designed to withstand heavy or prolonged rainfall.
Can this gilet be worn by different children?
Yes, the gilet includes a hand-me-down label inside, making it easy to identify and suitable for passing on to siblings or friends.
What is the fit like for this gilet?
This gilet is designed for children and offers a standard fit suitable for layering. Please refer to size guides for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff
Gently pull the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth, or use a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
Gilet appears to have lost some loft/warmth
Ensure the gilet is fully dry after washing. You can also place it in a tumble dryer on a low heat with a couple of clean tennis balls to help redistribute the wadding.
Outer fabric feels wet after rain
This is a showerproof garment, not fully waterproof. For prolonged or heavy rain, a more waterproof outer layer is recommended. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can affect water repellency.
