FAQs
Is this vest windproof?
No, the Retro Pile fleece is breathable and comfortable, but it is not windproof. We recommend pairing it with a shell jacket if you are in high-wind conditions.
Can I wash this in the washing machine?
Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
What does Fair Trade Certified mean?
It means the workers who made this vest earned a premium for their labor, which helps improve their living and working conditions.
Does the size XXL fit true to size?
The vest features a regular fit, which is designed to comfortably layer over other clothes without being overly tight or baggy.
What is the primary material used?
The vest is constructed from 100% recycled polyester double-sided shearling fleece.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large phone?
The chest pocket and handwarmer pockets are designed for common daily essentials, though very large oversized smartphones may be a tight fit in the chest pocket.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Pilling is common with recycled fleece; use a fabric shaver or pill comb gently to restore the surface.
Elastic binding feels less secure after washing
Avoid high heat in the dryer, as it can overstretch the elastic; always use low-heat or air-dry settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your vest maintains its loft and thermal properties, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the recycled fleece fibers. Always hang to dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting to prevent shrinking or damage to the elastic binding. The vest is designed with a regular fit, making it highly compatible as a mid-layer under a waterproof parka or as an outer layer over a long-sleeve base layer or flannel shirt.
