Full details
The Joules Minx Diamond Quilted Gilet is a versatile piece of outerwear designed for women who value both equestrian-inspired style and practical warmth during transitional seasons. Ideal for layering over knitwear, this gilet provides essential core insulation without the bulk of a full jacket, making it perfect for outdoor activities or city commuting.

FAQs
Does this gilet run true to size?
Yes, it generally follows standard sizing, but it is designed with a slim, tailored fit. If you prefer a loose fit, you may wish to size up.
Is the gilet waterproof?
It is designed for light autumnal weather and provides warmth, but it is not marketed as a waterproof or rain-repellent garment.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Please check the care label inside your specific garment. Most quilted items require a low-temperature, delicate cycle to prevent damage to the stitching.
Is this suitable for winter?
It is best suited for transitional seasons (spring and autumn) or as a layering piece under a larger coat during colder months.
What kind of clothing works best under this gilet?
Fine-gauge knits, long-sleeve shirts, and lightweight sweaters are ideal for maintaining the slim, tailored look of the gilet.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage
Gently steam the item or hang it in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to allow the fibers to relax.
Zipper feels slightly stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and consider rubbing a small amount of clear candle wax or pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is a piece of outerwear, no technical setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the quilting and the fabric quality, please follow these guidelines:
- Care: Always check the inner wash label for specific cleaning instructions. Generally, quilted items should be washed on a gentle cycle to preserve the padding.
- Compatibility: The gilet is best paired with fitted knitwear or long-sleeve base layers. Due to its tailored fit, avoid pairing it with oversized, chunky cable-knit sweaters if you prefer a streamlined look.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry closet to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the quilting pattern.
