Product Information
Full details
The Lighthouse Clothing Laurel Gilet is designed for women who need a versatile, lightweight layer for transitional weather. It is an ideal companion for autumnal outdoor walks, running daily errands, or layering over knitwear, providing essential warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. While it excels at protecting against light showers and wind, it is primarily intended for mild to cool conditions rather than harsh winter extremes.

FAQs
Is the Laurel Gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry this gilet. Tumble drying can damage the water-repellent finish and may affect the faux leather texture.
Does it run true to size?
It features a generous fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a snug, fashion-forward look, you may wish to consider sizing down.
What material is the outer shell made from?
The outer shell is made from a durable faux leather designed to provide style while being functional and water-repellent.
How long is the gilet?
The gilet is cut to a standard hip-length, providing excellent core warmth without interfering with your seating position.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zip is clear of the teeth. Apply a tiny amount of beeswax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth to improve glide.
Water-repellency seems less effective
This can happen after multiple washes. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for synthetic garments to restore the finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and easy to pack
- Water-repellent finish for light rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this gilet; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Regarding compatibility, the generous sizing means you can generally stick to your standard size for a relaxed fit, or size down if you prefer a more streamlined silhouette.
Care Instructions:
- Always check the internal garment label before washing.
- Machine wash on the coolest possible setting (usually 30 degrees Celsius or a gentle cold cycle).
- Do not use heavy detergents or bleach, as these can compromise the water-repellent treatment.
- Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the faux leather finish and zip hardware.
