FAQs
Is the Schoffel Marlow Gilet waterproof?
No, this gilet is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended as a mid-layer or outer layer for dry, cool conditions.
Can I wear this gilet over a thick sweater?
While you can layer it over thinner sweaters, the structured Milano-knit design is intended to fit closer to the body. A bulky sweater may make the fit too restrictive.
Is this garment unisex?
Yes, the design is styled to be suitable for all adults, offering a tailored fit regardless of gender.
How do I choose the right size?
The Marlow Gilet fits true to standard adult sizing. If you plan to layer it over thick clothing, you may consider sizing up, but for a standard fit, select your usual size.
Can I tumble dry the gilet?
It is generally not recommended to tumble dry this garment as the heat can cause the knit to shrink or lose its structure. Always air dry flat.
Troubleshooting
Visible pilling on the surface of the fleece
Gently use a fabric shaver to remove surface pills; avoid pulling them by hand to prevent fabric damage.
Garment losing shape after washing
Ensure the gilet is laid flat to dry on a towel rather than hung on a hanger, which stretches the damp fabric.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent versatility for smart and casual outfits

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, always check the internal care label before washing. Generally, this garment should be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle with a detergent formulated for wool or knitwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized knit structure. Air dry the gilet flat to prevent the weight of water from distorting the shoulders or hem. When layering, the Marlow Gilet is compatible with most standard-fit jackets, though it is best worn over thinner base or mid-layers to maintain a comfortable fit without restricting movement.
