Product Information
Full details
The Joules Heritage Fleece Gilet is designed for women who seek a blend of classic country aesthetic and functional, modern outerwear. It provides exceptional core warmth through its luxury polar fleece construction, making it an ideal layering piece for outdoor activities, countryside walks, or casual daily errands; however, potential buyers should note that it is crafted primarily for dry-weather layering rather than heavy rain protection due to its non-waterproof polyester composition.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is made from luxury polar fleece, which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It is best used for dry conditions or as a layering piece under a waterproof jacket.
Can I use the waist adjuster while wearing the gilet?
Yes, the internal waist adjuster is accessible from the inside of the garment, allowing you to cinch the waist to your preference even while the gilet is zipped up.
Does the fleece shed after washing?
To minimize shedding, always turn the garment inside out before washing on a cold, delicate cycle and avoid over-loading the washing machine.
What should I do if the faux leather trim gets dirty?
Wipe the faux leather trims gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not soak the leather-look material or use harsh chemical cleaners.
Is this gilet machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend a gentle, low-temperature cycle and air drying to ensure the longevity of the fabric and hardware.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure the fabric backing is not caught in the track and apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth to lubricate.
Fleece appears matted or loses softness
Avoid using fabric softeners during wash, as they coat the fibers. Use a specialized fabric brush or a gentle garment steamer to fluff the fibers after drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for a 'classic fit,' meaning it is true to size but benefits from the internal waist adjuster for those who prefer a more cinched look. Compatibility is high, as it sits comfortably under heavier rain shells or over thin thermal sweaters. To maintain the integrity of the polyester polar fleece and the faux leather trims, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cold water. Always close all zippers and poppers before placing it in the machine to prevent snagging. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, as excessive temperatures can melt the synthetic fleece fibers and degrade the faux leather detailing.
