FAQs
Is the Diamond Quilted Hooded Gilet waterproof?
While the polyester material offers some resistance to light moisture, this gilet is not fully waterproof. It's designed to provide warmth and protection against light drizzles, but it is not intended for heavy rain.
What seasons is this gilet best suited for?
This gilet is ideal for autumn and milder winter days. It serves as a perfect layering piece for transitional weather when a full coat might be too much, or as an added layer of warmth under a heavier jacket in colder conditions.
How do I wash and care for my gilet?
The gilet is made from 100% polyester. Generally, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. It's best to air dry it flat or hang it to dry to maintain the shape and loft of the quilting. Always check the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions.
Does this gilet run true to size?
Yes, the product is described as having a regular fit and being true to size. We recommend ordering your usual size for the intended fit.
Can I wear this gilet over bulky sweaters?
Yes, it is designed to be a layering piece and can comfortably fit over most knitwear. However, for extremely bulky sweaters, you might find it a snugger fit. Consider the overall bulk of your outfit when choosing layers.
Are there any internal pockets?
The product description specifies 'Side pockets add a practical edge.' There are no mentions of internal pockets, so the practical side pockets are the primary storage option.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too bulky when layering.
Ensure your base layers are not excessively thick. Opt for thinner knitwear or thermal tops to maintain a comfortable fit under the gilet. The gilet is designed to be a middle layer, not a tightly fitted one.
Hood feels loose or doesn't stay up in windy conditions.
Utilize the adjustable drawcord on the hood. Tighten the drawcord to secure the hood around your face, providing a snugger fit and better protection from wind.
Quilted pattern appears flattened after washing.
Follow the care label instructions diligently, especially regarding drying. Air drying flat and occasionally fluffing the gilet during the drying process can help restore the loft of the wadding and the definition of the quilted pattern. Avoid harsh wringing or machine drying on high heat.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth when zipping up or down. If the zipper still sticks, you can gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Getting started with your Diamond Quilted Hooded Gilet is as simple as putting it on. It's designed for immediate wear as a layering piece. For compatibility, this gilet is a perfect match for a wide range of autumn and winter attire. It layers beautifully over knitwear, sweaters, and long-sleeved tops. Pair it with denim jeans, trousers, or even certain skirts for a complete look. Footwear like boots, ankle boots, or even stylish trainers complement its casual yet chic aesthetic. For care, the gilet is constructed from 100% Polyester (wadding, lining, and outer). This typically indicates that it's machine washable. However, always refer to the care label inside your specific gilet for precise washing instructions, including temperature settings and drying recommendations, to ensure its longevity and maintain its quilted appearance. Generally, a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying flat or on a hanger is recommended to preserve the shape and loft of the padding. Avoid high heat during washing or drying, as this can damage polyester fibers and wadding.
