FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from polyester, which offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not a waterproof garment.
Can I wear this under a blazer?
Due to its quilted texture and fit, it works best under casual jackets or coats rather than slim-fitting tailored blazers.
How should I store it in the summer?
Store on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the quilted pattern from flattening.
Does the size fit true to size?
Yes, it follows standard sizing conventions, but if you intend to wear it over very thick sweaters, consider if your layering habits require extra room.
Can I tumble dry this product?
It is recommended to air dry this item to preserve the quality of the quilted finish and prevent potential damage to the synthetic material.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure no fabric fibers are caught in the track and rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth to lubricate them.
Static buildup on the synthetic fabric
Use a light anti-static spray or a fabric softener sheet during the wash cycle to reduce friction.
