FAQs
Is the Schoffel Marlow Gilet waterproof?
No, this gilet is made from a knitted fleece fabric and is not designed to be waterproof. It is best used as a dry-weather layer.
Can I wear this over a thick sweater?
Yes, the cut is versatile enough to accommodate a mid-weight sweater underneath, provided you have selected your correct size.
How should I clean my gilet?
Use a cool machine wash on a delicate setting. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron directly.
Does the Milano-knit fabric shrink?
It may shrink if exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying. Always adhere to the cold-wash and air-dry recommendations.
Is this a unisex item?
While some variants are listed as unisex, the fit is generally designed for a standard adult silhouette. Check the specific MPN size guide for your variant.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a fabric softener suitable for wool/fleece blends and avoid high-heat drying.
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
Use a specialized fabric shaver or de-pilling comb to gently remove surface lint; avoid pulling fibers by hand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these guidelines:
- Care Instructions: Always check the internal garment label. Typically, Milano-knit fleece should be washed on a cool, delicate cycle with a mild detergent.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying; lay the garment flat on a drying rack away from direct heat sources to prevent fibers from shrinking or becoming distorted.
- Storage: Hang on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders when not in use.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit true to size. If you intend to layer the gilet under a very slim-fitting outer jacket, consider your standard size; if you plan to wear it over multiple thick layers, ensure you have sufficient room in the armholes.
