FAQs

What does 'loom-woven' and 'seamless tunnels' mean?

It means the fabric is woven in a way that creates the compartments for the down directly from the weaving process, eliminating the need for stitched seams to hold the down in place. This improves durability and insulation.

Is the down ethically sourced?

Yes, the gilet is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified, ensuring the down comes from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm.

What does 'anti-drop' treatment do?

The anti-drop finish provides a level of water and stain repellency, helping to protect the garment from light rain and minor spills.

Can I machine wash this gilet?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. It is crucial to follow the specific washing and drying instructions provided to maintain the garment's integrity.

How do I restore the down's loft after washing?

After washing, tumble dry the gilet on low heat, preferably with a few clean tennis balls. The tennis balls help to break up clumps of down and restore its natural loft.

What is the benefit of the two-way zip?

The two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from the top or bottom, offering flexibility for ventilation and fit adjustments, especially when layered.

What sizes does this gilet come in?

This specific listing is for size Medium (M). Other sizes like S, L, XL, and XXL are available as separate listings.

Troubleshooting

Down leakage

Minor down loss is normal initially. For significant leakage, gently pull the down back inside the fabric rather than pulling it all the way out. Ensure care instructions are followed during washing and drying.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth can help ease movement.

Color appears uneven after washing

This can be a characteristic of the garment dyeing process. Ensure you are following the specific washing instructions for garment-dyed items, washing with similar colors and removing promptly.
