FAQs

How do I wash my Longline Quilted Gilet?

Machine wash your gilet on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. It's best to hang dry it to maintain its shape and material integrity. Always check the garment's care label for the most precise instructions.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?

This gilet is an excellent layering piece for autumn and mild winter conditions, providing core warmth. However, due to its sleeveless design, it's recommended to layer it over warm clothing and potentially under a heavier coat for extremely cold temperatures.

What size should I order?

The gilet is designed for a 'Regular fit' and is 'True to size'. We recommend ordering your usual dress size. For specific measurements, please refer to the size chart on the product page.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood on this Longline Quilted Gilet is a fixed feature and cannot be detached. It offers both style and practical protection from the elements.

Can I wear this gilet indoors?

Absolutely! Its stylish design and comfortable warmth make it perfect for wearing indoors, whether you're relaxing at home or in a cooler office environment. It's a great alternative to a cardigan or light jacket.

What types of outfits complement this gilet best?

This gilet pairs beautifully with casual outfits. Try styling it with jeans, leggings, or casual trousers, alongside knitwear or long-sleeved tops. Finish the look with ankle boots or trainers for a complete, fashionable ensemble.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too bulky or restrictive when layered.

Ensure your base layers are not excessively thick. Opt for thinner knitwear or long-sleeved tops when wearing the gilet as a mid-layer. The gilet is designed to be worn over standard clothing, not bulky items.

The double-ended zip becomes stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric snags near the zipper teeth. Gently pull away any trapped material. For stiffness, rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to lubricate them, then gently work the zip up and down.

Gilet appears less 'puffy' or loses shape after washing.

After washing, if care label allows, tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute the polyester wadding and restore the gilet's loft and shape.
