Product Information

Full details

The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is designed for adults seeking a versatile and warm layering option for cooler weather. Its key benefit lies in providing adjustable warmth and style for casual outings, while the main caveat is that as a gilet, it offers no arm coverage, requiring additional layers in very cold conditions. This guide will help you maximize the comfort and style of your gilet.

FAQs

Is the hood removable?

The hood itself is not removable, but the faux fur trim on the hood is designed to be removable, allowing for versatile styling.

What size should I choose?

The gilet is available in standard UK women's sizes (e.g., UK 8, 10, 12, etc.). Refer to a standard size chart for 'SoulCal' or general women's apparel to find your best fit. If you plan on significant layering, you might consider sizing up.

Can I wear this in very cold winter weather?

While the gilet provides good warmth, it's best suited for cooler days or as a layering piece in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, you would need to wear it over substantial layers or under a heavy winter coat, as it does not cover your arms.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the gilet is primarily made of polyester and is not waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not designed to protect against heavy rain or snow.

How do I best store my gilet when not in use?

Store your gilet on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean before storing to prevent odors or damage. If the faux fur trim is detached, store it flat or lightly folded to maintain its shape.

Is this gilet suitable for men?

This particular gilet is designed with a female fit and sizing. While anyone can wear what they prefer, men might find the cut and proportions less ideal than a gilet designed for male body types.

Troubleshooting

Faux fur trim looks matted or less fluffy.

After washing, gently shake out the faux fur trim while it's still damp. Once dry, you can lightly brush it with a soft-bristled brush (like a pet brush or a dedicated faux fur brush) to restore its fluffiness. Avoid excessive brushing or heat.

Gilet feels less warm than expected.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. The gilet is designed for cooler, not extreme, cold. Check if the double zips are fully closed. For added warmth, pair it with a thicker sweater or thermal top underneath.

Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) along the teeth. Operate the zipper slowly and gently. If the problem persists, avoid forcing it to prevent damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth and comfort for cooler days.
  • Versatile style with a removable faux fur hood trim.
  • Adjustable warmth through double zip fastening.
  • Easy to care for, machine washable.
  • Contains recycled polyester, offering an eco-friendlier material choice.
  • Ideal for layering over various outfits.

Cons

  • As a gilet, it does not provide arm protection.
  • Faux fur trim may require specific care to maintain softness.
  • Polyester material may not be as breathable as natural fibers in warmer conditions.
  • Style might be too casual for formal occasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your SoulCal 2Zip Gilet comes ready to wear. Simply unpack and put it on. If the faux fur trim is not attached to the hood, locate the small buttons or loops on the hood and corresponding fasteners on the trim to secure it.

Compatibility

This gilet is designed for adults, specifically adult females. It is highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe items for layering, including:

  • Tops: Long-sleeved t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, turtlenecks.
  • Bottoms: Jeans, leggings, casual trousers.
  • Outerwear (for extreme cold): Can be worn under a looser-fitting winter coat for an extra layer of warmth, though it's typically an outer layer itself.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your gilet:

  1. Machine Washable: Always refer to the care label inside the gilet for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Temperature: Use cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic fibers and faux fur.
  3. Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  4. Faux Fur Trim: It is highly recommended to remove the faux fur trim before washing the gilet to protect its texture and appearance. Hand wash the faux fur separately in cool water with a small amount of mild soap, then gently rinse and air dry. Avoid twisting or wringing.
  5. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to maintain the gilet's shape and padding. Avoid high heat as it can damage polyester and faux fur. Do not bleach or iron.
