Product Information
Full details
The Evans Quilted Gilet is a versatile, essential layering piece for women who want added core warmth without the restrictive bulk of a full-sleeved coat. Crafted from durable polyester, this gilet features an adjustable tie waist and secure fastenings to ensure a comfortable fit, though users should note the synthetic material requires careful attention during cleaning to maintain the quilted texture.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
The hood is a fixed part of the gilet design to provide continuous protection against the elements.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While the polyester material provides some resistance to light moisture, it is not waterproof and should be paired with a shell if you expect heavy rain.
How do I choose the right size?
The gilet is designed for layering; follow standard sizing for women's tops, but consider sizing up if you intend to wear very thick, chunky sweaters underneath.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but always check the care tag for specific temperature settings to avoid damaging the polyester.
Does the tie waist make it feel bulky?
No, the tie waist is designed to help you cinch the gilet closer to your body, reducing the appearance of bulk and creating a more defined shape.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a candle or graphite pencil along the zip track to lubricate it.
Loss of volume in quilted sections
Give the garment a gentle shake after washing and ensure it is air-dried completely in a flat position to allow the insulation to expand.
Wrinkles in the fabric
Use a low-heat setting on your iron or a hand-held steamer kept at a safe distance to remove creases without melting the polyester fibers.
Pros and Cons

- Adjustable tie waist creates a tailored silhouette

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet stays in top condition, always consult the internal garment label for specific wash settings. Generally, polyester garments should be washed on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent snagging the quilted fabric. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the synthetic fill and affect the garment's loft. For daily storage, hang the gilet on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the waist ties do not become tangled. The gilet is highly compatible with casual attire; it pairs seamlessly with casual boots, sneakers, and various knit fabrics.
