FAQs
What size should I choose for this gilet?
The Roman Chevron Quilted Hooded Gilet is described as 'True to size' for a women's regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual clothing size for the best fit.
Is this gilet suitable for rainy weather?
While polyester offers some natural water resistance, this gilet is not described as waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth in colder seasons and light conditions, not heavy rain or prolonged wet weather.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter conditions?
This gilet provides excellent core and head warmth. For very cold winter conditions, we recommend layering it over a substantial knit or under a heavier, waterproof outer coat for optimal protection and warmth.
How do I properly clean this polyester gilet?
The gilet is 100% Polyester. Generally, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls or air dry flat, fluffing the quilting periodically to maintain its loft. Always check the specific care label inside your garment first.
Does this gilet have pockets?
The product description mentions 'concealed zip and popper fastening for practicality,' but does not explicitly state whether it includes pockets. Info needed: [Are there pockets, and if so, what kind?]
Is the hood removable?
The gilet features an 'integrated duvet hood,' which means the hood is a fixed part of the design and is not removable.
What is a 'duvet hood'?
A 'duvet hood' refers to a hood that is padded, soft, and insulating, similar to a duvet or quilt. It's designed to provide extra warmth and comfort around the head and neck.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Gently pull any fabric away from the zipper teeth. If persistent, rub a graphite pencil lead or a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Gilet feels too bulky or restricts movement.
The gilet is designed for a regular fit to allow for comfortable layering. Ensure your base layers aren't excessively thick. If still feeling bulky, consider the sizing to ensure it's not too small for your desired layering.
Quilted sections appear flat or clumpy after washing.
After washing, if tumble drying, use a low heat setting and add a few clean dryer balls or tennis balls to help redistribute and fluff the wadding. If air drying, lay it flat and gently pat and fluff the quilted areas periodically as it dries.
Fabric has minor stains or appears dull.
For minor stains, spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. For overall dullness, a gentle machine wash according to the care instructions should refresh the fabric. Ensure no harsh chemicals are used.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure your gilet maintains its warmth, shape, and stylish appearance for seasons to come. The gilet is made from 100% Polyester (shell, wadding, and lining).
- Washing: Always check the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions. Generally, polyester garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, air dry flat. If tumble drying, adding dryer balls or clean tennis balls can help fluff the wadding and prevent it from flattening. If air drying, gently fluff the quilted sections by hand as it dries to maintain loft.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, or use a steamer. Avoid direct high heat as polyester can melt.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape, or fold neatly.
