Full details

Its key benefit is providing warmth and water repellency while complementing other outerwear.

FAQs
What type of material is the Laurel Gilet made from?
The Laurel Gilet is made with a water-repellent outer material that has the appearance of faux leather.
What does the 'water repellent (up to 1,000mm)' rating mean?
This rating indicates the fabric can withstand a certain level of water pressure before becoming saturated. It means the gilet is suitable for light rain and drizzle but not for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
Can I wear the Laurel Gilet in very cold weather?
The gilet provides warmth and is suitable for cooler autumn and winter days. For very cold conditions, it is best layered over warm clothing, or worn under a more substantial coat like the matching Laurel coat.
How should I clean the gilet?
You can wash the gilet on the coolest setting in your washing machine. Avoid tumble drying; instead, lay it flat or hang it to dry.
Is the fit true to size?
The gilet is described as having a generous fit, meaning it is designed to be comfortable and allow for layering. If you prefer a more fitted style, you might consider sizing down.
What is the length of the gilet?
The Laurel Gilet is hip-length, providing coverage to the hip area.
Are the front pockets secure?
Yes, the two front pockets are zipped, providing secure storage for your essentials.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Gently rub a pencil lead or a bit of lip balm along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Gilet feels tight when layered.
The Laurel Gilet has a generous fit. If layering over very thick items, consider the sizing or opt for a lighter layer underneath.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the gilet according to care instructions. For enhanced water repellency, consider a specific fabric refresher spray designed for water-repellent clothing after washing and drying.
Pilling or bobbling on the faux leather.
This can occur with wear. Gently use a fabric shaver or de-piller on the affected areas. Avoid abrasive contact.

Care Instructions:
