FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the Stenton Fleece Gilet is windproof and insulating but is not waterproof.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is highly recommended to air dry the garment to protect the faux nubuck trim and the integrity of the fleece pile.
How should I choose the right size?
This gilet is tailored for an excellent fit; order your standard dress size for a comfortable fit over a thin base layer.
What material is the gilet made of?
It is crafted from durable, high-quality polyester fleece.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the secure zipped pockets are designed to accommodate essentials such as smartphones, keys, or gloves.
Does the antique brass hardware tarnish?
The branded brass hardware is high-quality, but wiping it dry after exposure to rain will help maintain its finish.
Troubleshooting
Fleece fibers appearing matted
Use a soft-bristle garment brush gently after washing to fluff the fibers back to their original state.
Zip feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and apply a small amount of clear beeswax if the mechanism remains difficult to move.
Excessive lint buildup
Wash the item inside out to reduce friction and use a lint roller periodically to remove debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet retains its performance and aesthetic, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Close all zips before washing to protect the antique brass hardware.

- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger when not in use to maintain its tailored structure.
- Compatibility: This garment is designed to fit over standard base layers. Ensure you select your usual size for the best fit, as the tailoring is designed to be close to the body for maximum heat retention.
