Product Information

Full details

The TOG24 Welham extra-long padded gilet is designed for individuals seeking warmth and comfort with an urban aesthetic on chilly days. Its primary benefit is providing excellent insulation from recycled materials and protection against light drizzle, all while ensuring freedom of movement. A key consideration is that while it is water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof and its material composition, while featuring recycled insulation, lists cotton for the general material, which may influence care.

FAQs

Is the TOG24 Welham Gilet waterproof?

No, the Welham Gilet features a water-repellent coating, which provides protection against light rain and drizzle. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

What is the insulation made from?

The gilet's chunky quilted insulation is made from recycled plastic bottles, making it an eco-friendly choice for warmth.

How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?

You can adjust the fit using the toggle adjusters on the hood for head and neck coverage, and on the waist to achieve a 'cinched-in' and flattering silhouette.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?

The Welham Gilet is designed for chilly days and provides excellent warmth. For very cold winter weather, it works best as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof or heavily insulated outer shell, or over a very warm jumper.

How should I clean my Welham Gilet?

Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside your gilet for precise washing instructions. Generally, insulated garments benefit from gentle washing in cold water and air drying to preserve their insulation and water-repellent properties.

Does this gilet restrict movement?

No, the Welham Gilet is designed to offer great freedom of movement. Its two-way zip and side hem vents further enhance mobility and comfort.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The TOG24 Welham Gilet comes with a one-year guarantee, provided by TOG24, a UK-based family firm established in 1958.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too loose or drafty around the waist.

Adjust the toggle adjusters located on the waist. Pull them to tighten for a more 'cinched-in' fit, which helps retain warmth and block drafts.

Feeling too warm or restricted during activity.

Utilize the two-way zip by unzipping from the bottom for increased ventilation. You can also open the side hem vents by releasing the concealed press studs to improve airflow and allow for greater freedom of movement.

Water no longer beads up effectively on the fabric.

The water-repellent coating may need refreshing. Follow care label instructions (if available) or apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray-on or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel to restore its water resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Wearing:

Simply put on the gilet over your preferred base layers or jumpers. Utilize the two-way zip for easy fastening. Adjust the hood toggles for a snug fit around your head and neck, and use the waist toggles to achieve your desired 'cinched-in' look and to help seal out drafts. The side hem vents with concealed press studs can be opened or closed to increase comfort and freedom of movement, especially when sitting or bending.

Compatibility:

This gilet is designed to be a versatile layering piece. It pairs excellently with:

Hoodies and Sweatshirts: For a casual, warm, and comfortable ensemble.
Thick Jumpers: To enhance warmth during colder weather.
Long-sleeved Tops: For a lighter layer in transitional seasons.
Outdoor Apparel: Can be worn over or under other outer layers depending on temperature and activity.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Welham Gilet, proper care is essential:

Washing: Info needed: Specific washing instructions (e.g., machine wash cold, gentle cycle, hand wash) should be checked on the garment's care label. Generally, for insulated garments, cold water and a gentle cycle are recommended.
Drying: Info needed: Specific drying instructions (e.g., tumble dry low, air dry flat) should be checked on the garment's care label. Avoid high heat as it can damage insulation and water-repellent coatings.
Water-Repellency: The water-repellent coating may diminish over time. Consider reapplying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when necessary to maintain performance.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing the gilet for extended periods to maintain the loft of the insulation.
