FAQs
Is the Tibb Down Gilet suitable for cold winter weather?
The Tibb Down Gilet is designed for mid-season wear, offering excellent warmth for spring and autumn conditions. For colder winter weather, it functions best as a layering piece under a heavier, more protective outer jacket.
Is the gilet fully waterproof?
The gilet features a water-repellent nylon laqué exterior, meaning it offers protection against light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
How should I store my gilet when not in use?
Store your gilet in a cool, dry place. It's best to hang it on a padded hanger rather than compressing it for long periods, which can damage the down loft. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
Can I machine wash the Tibb Down Gilet?
Always check the care label inside your gilet for specific washing instructions. While some down garments can be machine washed on a delicate cycle with special detergents, professional dry cleaning is often recommended to maintain the integrity of the down and fabric.
What is the material composition of the gilet?
The exterior and lining are made from 100% Polyamide/Nylon. The padding consists of 90% Down and 10% Feather for optimal insulation.
What does 'nylon laqué' mean?
Nylon laqué refers to a type of nylon fabric that has a glossy, lacquered finish. It contributes to the gilet's distinctive look and provides the lightweight and water-repellent qualities.
Troubleshooting
Gilet appears flat or clumpy after washing.
This is common with down products. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up the wet down clumps and restore the gilet's loft and fluffiness. Repeat drying cycles if necessary until completely dry and fluffy.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish can degrade over time or with improper washing. Ensure you are following the care label precisely. If the care label allows, a re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outerwear can restore performance after thorough cleaning.
Small feathers are escaping the gilet.
It's normal for a small amount of down or feathers to escape from time to time, especially with new garments. This usually lessens over time. Avoid pulling out feathers; instead, gently push them back into the gilet from the inside to prevent creating larger holes.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality and loft of the down filling.
- Check Care Label: Always refer to the specific care label inside your gilet for the most accurate washing instructions.
- Cleaning: Due to the down and feather filling, professional dry cleaning is often recommended. If hand washing is permitted per the label, use cold water and a mild down-specific detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and fluff the down, preventing clumping. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the gilet for long periods, as this can damage the down loft. Hang it on a padded hanger if possible.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid harsh rubbing.
