Product Information
Full details
The RM Williams Rydal Padded Vest in Brown, size XL, is designed for adult males seeking a functional and stylish layering piece. Its key benefit is providing warmth and convenient storage with branded detailing, crafted from sustainable recycled materials. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very snug silhouette. Key features include a recycled nylon shell and filling, a stand collar, a one-way zipper with a branded leather puller, and two front double-welt zip pockets also with branded leather pullers. Subtle Longhorn embroidery at the chest and center back adds a touch of brand heritage.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the vest?
The vest is crafted from a recycled nylon shell with recycled polyester filling, promoting sustainable practices.
How should I determine my size?
The product description notes that the model is 188cm tall and wears size M top and W32 L32 trousers. It is recommended to compare your own measurements to standard sizing charts, keeping in mind the vest has a regular fit. Size XL is indicated for this listing.
Does the vest offer significant warmth for very cold weather?
The vest provides comfortable warmth as a layering piece, suitable for transitional weather or as an additional layer under a heavier coat. For extreme cold, it may require layering with warmer garments underneath.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the two front pockets are double-welt zip pockets, designed to securely hold small items.
What kind of washing care is recommended?
It's essential to check the care label, but generally, gentle washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat are advised. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Where is the Longhorn embroidery located?
The Longhorn embroidery is located at the chest and on the centre back of the vest.
Is this vest waterproof?
The vest is made from recycled nylon, which offers some resistance to wind and light moisture, but it is not rated as waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax along the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Check the leather puller for any obstructions.
Filling appears to be clumping after washing.
Ensure the vest was tumble dried on a low setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help redistribute the filling. If still clumpy, gently massage the affected areas by hand.
Exterior fabric shows minor scuffs.
For light scuffs on recycled nylon, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
