FAQs
Is this gilet machine washable?
Due to the faux suede material, we recommend spot cleaning. Please check the care label inside your specific garment for full laundering instructions.
Can I wear this in the rain?
It is showerproof, meaning it is perfect for light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used in heavy downpours.
Does the size reflect standard UK sizing?
Yes, this product is sized according to standard UK dress sizes; it is designed for a comfortable fit over everyday clothing.
Is the material real animal suede?
No, the Fairbanks Gilet is crafted from high-quality polyester designed to mimic the appearance and texture of suede without using animal products.
Is this gilet heavy to wear?
It is designed to be lightweight, offering warmth without the bulk associated with heavy winter parkas.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems to be fading
The water-repellent coating can wear off over time; consider applying a standard fabric-safe reproofing spray specifically designed for synthetic materials.
Shearling lining flattening after extended use
Gently shake or brush the faux shearling with a soft-bristled brush to help restore loft and fluffiness to the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be a standard-fit layering piece. For optimal comfort, ensure you match your standard UK dress size for a tailored look, or size up if you intend to wear it primarily over thick, chunky sweaters. To maintain the appearance of the faux suede and the integrity of the faux shearling, it is recommended to gently spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth if it becomes soiled. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh chemicals that could damage the water-repellent finish, and always air dry flat in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
