Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling or matting
Wash inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid high heat drying and excessive rubbing. Consider using a fabric comb for minor pilling.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.
Faux leather trims showing wear
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high heat. Clean trims gently with a slightly damp cloth and condition with a leather-specific conditioner if needed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Gilet does not fit as expected
Refer to the detailed size guide provided. Ensure accurate body measurements are taken before selecting a size. Consider layering preferences when choosing your size.
