FAQs

What material is the Jack Wills Firstone Gilet made from?

The gilet is made from Nylon with a synthetic fill for insulation.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable, offering flexibility in wear.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The gilet has waterproof properties suitable for light rain or showers. For prolonged or heavy downpours, additional waterproof outerwear may be necessary.

How should I wash the gilet?

It can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

What sizes are available?

Is the synthetic fill warm enough for winter?

The synthetic fill provides warmth suitable for cooler weather and layering. For very cold winter conditions, it may be best used as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Waterproofing seems to be reduced

The garment's water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Consider using a specific textile waterproofing spray after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.

Hood attachment is loose

Check that all snaps or zippers connecting the hood are fully secured. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing a tight fit.
