Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Stenton Fleece Gilet is designed for adult women who require a reliable and stylish mid-layer for country activities and outdoor pursuits. It provides the key benefit of excellent insulation through a rich, windproof, and breathable fleece pile, making it an essential piece for layering in variable weather. While it offers superior comfort and a refined aesthetic with its faux nubuck trim, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best utilized as part of a layered system rather than a standalone outer shell in extreme cold.

What is the best way to clean the faux nubuck trim?
Wipe the trim gently with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or heavy detergents on the nubuck sections.
Can I tumble dry this product?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the fabric fibers and the faux nubuck trim from potential heat damage.
Does this gilet provide a slim fit?

Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is clear. You can run a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to lubricate them.
Fleece looking matted after heavy use
Lightly brush the pile with a soft-bristled garment brush after washing and drying to restore the loft of the polyester fibers.
