FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
No, this gilet is made from thermal fleece and is designed for warmth, not water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof layer in rainy weather.
Can I wash the gilet in a machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and washing at a low temperature.
Is this suitable for summer wear?
The 300g thermal fleece is quite warm, so it is primarily intended for autumn, winter, and chilly spring days.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
The lower zipped pockets are designed for small essentials, but sizing depends on the phone model. They are generally suited for keys, coins, or small snacks.
What does the 'faux antique leather' refer to?
This refers to the decorative piping trim found on the edges of the gilet, which provides a classic look without using real leather materials.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stuck or difficult to slide
Check the zipper track for fabric debris or lint. Gently remove any caught fibers and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth movement.
Fleece appears flattened after extended use
Give the garment a light brush with a soft garment brush to lift the fibers and restore the loft of the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is an apparel item, no assembly is required. To maintain the appearance and longevity of the thermal fleece and the faux leather trim, follow these care guidelines: Wash the garment on a gentle cycle at a low temperature to preserve the fiber structure. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the fleece of its insulating properties. Always air dry the gilet away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the faux leather piping from cracking or melting. When sizing, consider the base layers you intend to wear underneath; if you plan on layering heavily, ensure you select the appropriate size to allow for full range of motion.
