FAQs
Is the Belstaff Compound Gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is made from nylon and is not waterproof. It is best used for dry, cool weather or as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof shell.
How should I wash this gilet?
We recommend professional cleaning or using a dedicated down detergent in a gentle, cold wash cycle, ensuring it is thoroughly dried to prevent clumping.
What is 750-fill-power?
Fill power measures the loft or 'fluffiness' of down. 750-fill-power indicates high-quality down that provides excellent warmth while remaining light and compressible.
Can I wear this in deep winter?
It serves as an excellent layering piece for winter, but as a sleeveless gilet, it should be paired with a heavy jacket or coat to protect your arms and maintain full body warmth.
Is the fit true to size?
The Belstaff Compound Gilet is designed with a modern, tailored fit. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may consider your standard sizing or sizing up depending on your preference for a looser fit.
Troubleshooting
Feathers leaking through the fabric
Small amounts of shedding are normal for down products. Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell.
Gilet appears flat or lacking loft
Tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff the down clusters back to their original volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, always follow the care label located inside the garment. Because of the down filling, it is recommended to use professional dry cleaning or a specialized down-safe wash cycle in a front-loading machine. Avoid using standard fabric softeners, as they can degrade the insulating properties of the feathers. When storing for long periods, keep the gilet in a breathable garment bag rather than a tightly compressed space to maintain the loft of the down clusters.
