Full details
The RM Williams Rydal Padded Vest is designed for adult males seeking a functional and stylish layering piece for cooler weather. Its key benefit lies in its sustainable construction and practical features like dual zip pockets and branded detailing. A potential consideration is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very slim silhouette. This vest offers warmth and utility, crafted from recycled nylon with a recycled polyester filling, featuring a stand collar, a one-way zipper with a branded leather puller, and discreet Longhorn embroidery.

FAQs
What are the primary materials used in this vest?
The vest is crafted with a recycled nylon shell and filled with recycled polyester. The pullers are made of leather.
How should I clean the vest?
Always refer to the care label. Generally, a cold machine wash or hand wash is recommended. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents.
Is this vest waterproof?
The vest is made from nylon, which offers some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed primarily for warmth and wind resistance.
What is the fit of the Rydal Padded Vest?
The vest features a regular fit, designed to accommodate layering over other garments comfortably.
How do I care for the leather pullers?
Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. To maintain their condition, you can use a small amount of leather conditioner periodically.
What does the 'Longhorn embroidery' signify?
The Longhorn embroidery is a signature branded detail of RM Williams, representing heritage and the brand's identity.
Can this vest be worn in very cold weather?
This vest provides moderate insulation. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer clothing and under a heavier outer coat.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax along the zipper teeth.
Vest feels too bulky under another layer.
The vest is designed for moderate insulation. For a slimmer layering option, consider wearing only a base layer underneath or choose a lighter-weight garment.
Leather puller feels dry or stiff.
Gently clean the leather puller with a slightly damp cloth. Once dry, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility.
Embroidered logo appears to be snagged.
Carefully inspect the embroidery. If a thread is loose, try to gently tuck it back in or snip any excess thread with small, sharp scissors to prevent further unraveling. Avoid pulling on the threads.
