Full details
The Schoffel Marlow Knitted Fleece Gilet is designed for adults seeking a versatile, high-quality layering piece that bridges the gap between outdoor practicality and refined style. Crafted from premium Milano-knit fabric, this gilet provides essential core warmth and durability, making it an ideal companion for country pursuits, casual weekend outings, or as a mid-layer for more formal ensembles.

FAQs
Is the Schoffel Marlow Gilet waterproof?
No, this gilet is made from fleece material and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can this be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the product is designed as a unisex garment, though we recommend checking the size guide as the cut may vary slightly from gender-specific clothing.
What does Milano-knit mean?
Milano-knit is a type of dense, double-knit fabric that provides more structure, stability, and durability than standard single-knit fleece.
How should I store the gilet when not in use?
It is best to fold it neatly and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid using wire hangers, which can leave indentations in the shoulders.
Is this gilet suitable for summer wear?
It is excellent for cooler summer evenings, but it may be too warm for peak midday temperatures.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
We recommend air drying flat to preserve the shape and quality of the knit; high heat in a tumble dryer can lead to shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Garment has developed pills or small lint balls
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull the knit yarns.
The gilet has lost its shape after washing
Always lay the garment flat on a clean towel when drying, and gently pull it into its original shape while damp rather than hanging it, which can cause stretching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the Marlow Gilet requires no setup; simply ensure the sizing is correct for your intended layering needs. For compatibility, the gilet is best paired with breathable base layers or cotton shirts. Avoid wearing it directly over items with sharp components that could snag the knit fabric.
To maintain the integrity of the Milano-knit:
- Always follow the garment care label regarding temperature settings.
- Wash on a gentle cycle to prevent pilling.
- Avoid using strong fabric softeners that may degrade the fleece fibers.
- Reshape the gilet while damp and allow it to air dry flat to ensure it maintains its tailored silhouette.
