FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The Longline Hooded Gilet provides core warmth and is excellent for Autumn and milder Winter days. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a substantial jumper or jacket, as its sleeveless design does not cover your arms.
What is the material of the gilet?
The gilet, including the main fabric, wadding, and lining, is made from 100% Polyester, offering lightweight warmth and durability.
How should I clean my gilet?
Typically, polyester garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. It's best to air dry or tumble dry on low to protect the fabric. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
Does this gilet have pockets?
Yes, the gilet features practical pockets for storing your essentials or keeping your hands warm.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is designed with a drawcord, allowing you to adjust its fit and protection against the elements.
What kind of fit does this gilet have?
This gilet is designed with a 'regular fit' and is true to size (UK Size 16), intended to be comfortable for adult women.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose.
This gilet is designed to be true to size and a regular fit (UK Size 16). If the fit is not ideal, double-check your measurements against standard sizing guides. Consider wearing thinner or thicker layers underneath to adjust the feel.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.
Polyester is generally wrinkle-resistant, but creases can occur from storage. To remove, lightly steam the gilet or iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat.
Gilet doesn't provide enough warmth.
This gilet is intended as a layering piece. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate warm layers underneath, such as a thick jumper or thermal top. It is not designed as a standalone heavy-duty winter coat.
