FAQs
What is a 'duvet hood'?
A 'duvet hood' refers to a hood that is generously padded and soft, much like a duvet or comforter. It is designed to provide extra warmth and comfort around the head and neck.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
While 100% polyester offers some water resistance, this gilet is not designed to be fully waterproof. It provides protection against light drizzles but may become saturated in heavy rain. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer layer is recommended.
Can I wear this gilet in spring or milder weather?
Yes, while ideal for autumn and winter, it can be worn in milder spring weather as a lighter outer layer, especially on cooler mornings or evenings, or if you prefer less bulk than a full coat.
What does 'true to size' mean for this gilet?
'True to size' means that the garment is designed to fit according to standard body measurements for its labeled size, allowing for typical layering underneath. You should generally order your usual dress size.
How should I store the gilet when not in use?
Store your gilet on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry place to help maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing for extended periods.
Is the gilet machine washable?
Typically, polyester gilets are machine washable. We recommend checking the care label for specific instructions, but generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors, and tumble dry low or hang to dry. Avoid high heat to preserve the quilting and fabric integrity. (Info needed: Confirm specific care label instructions)
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure all fastenings (zip and poppers) are fully secured to prevent heat loss. Consider layering with thicker base layers underneath, especially if the ambient temperature is very low.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or even rubbing a pencil lead on the teeth can sometimes help.
Gilet appears creased after washing.
Tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls, or hang to dry immediately after washing. If creases persist, iron on a very low heat setting, using a pressing cloth if available, and iron inside out.
Fit feels too tight or too loose.
This gilet is designed as a regular fit, true to size. If the fit is uncomfortable, double-check your measurements against standard sizing guides. Consider if you're layering with very bulky items that might affect the fit.
