FAQs
What season is this gilet best suited for?
This gilet is designed for Autumn and milder Winter weather, serving as an excellent layering piece to provide core warmth.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from 100% Polyester, which offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy rain.
How should I wash this gilet?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not bleach or dry clean. Iron on a very low setting if needed, using a pressing cloth.
Does it run true to size?
Yes, the gilet is described as 'true to size' and features a 'Regular fit'.
Can I wear this gilet indoors?
Absolutely. It's a versatile layering piece that can be comfortably worn indoors over lighter tops for extra warmth without overheating, thanks to its sleeveless design and adjustable zip.
What is 'wadded fabric'?
Wadded fabric refers to material that has a layer of soft, insulating material (wadding or batting) stitched between two layers of outer fabric, providing warmth and a slightly padded feel.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too bulky when layered.
Ensure the garments worn underneath are not excessively thick. Opt for slim-fit jumpers or thermals as base layers to maintain a comfortable silhouette. The gilet is designed for 'regular fit' and to be 'true to size', so layering too much could impact the fit.
Gilet isn't providing enough warmth.
While the gilet offers core warmth, it is sleeveless. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing adequate long-sleeved layers underneath. Consider a thermal base layer combined with a warm jumper for maximum insulation.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Gently pull the fabric taut around the zipper area to ensure no fabric is caught. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper wax) to the teeth.
Print fading or damage after washing.
Always wash inside out and follow the care instructions precisely, specifically machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid high heat during washing or drying, as excessive heat can damage prints and polyester fabric.
