FAQs

Is the Joules Braemar Luxe Gilet fully waterproof?

No, the gilet is showerproof, meaning it provides protection against light rain and drizzles, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

What materials is the gilet made from?

The main body, lining, and wadding are constructed from 100% recycled polyester. The side panels are made from 95% Polyester and 5% Elastane.

How do I care for my gilet?

The gilet is machine washable. Always refer to the specific care label sewn inside your gilet for detailed washing instructions to ensure its longevity.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?

The gilet provides light to moderate warmth and is ideal for transitional seasons or cooler days. For very cold winter weather, it's best worn as a layering piece under a heavier coat or jacket.

What are the 'suedette details' mentioned?

Suedette refers to a faux suede material used on the funnel neck lining and shoulders. These details add a luxurious texture and enhance the gilet's overall stylish appearance.

How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?

The gilet features an adjustable back belt. You can easily tighten or loosen this belt to create a more customized and flattering silhouette that suits your preference.

Are the pockets secure for holding items?

Yes, the front pockets are designed with popper fastenings, which help to keep your small personal items like keys or a phone secure while you're on the go.

Troubleshooting

The gilet feels too loose or too snug around the waist.

Utilize the adjustable back belt. Cinch it tighter for a more defined, flattering silhouette, or loosen it for a more relaxed and comfortable fit.

The gilet's showerproof quality seems to be diminishing.

Ensure the gilet is clean, as dirt can affect its water-repellent properties. Machine washing according to the care label might help. For restored performance, consider applying a suitable fabric re-proofing spray designed for outerwear.

Suedette details appear matted or lost their texture after washing.

Once the gilet is completely dry, gently brush the suedette areas with a soft-bristled clothing brush. This can help lift the fibres and restore the material's original texture and appearance.

The zip fastening becomes stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. For stiff zippers, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite stick or wax) along the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Joules Braemar Luxe Diamond Quilted Gilet is straightforward. Simply put it on over your chosen clothing. Adjust the back belt to achieve your desired fit and silhouette. The zip fastening allows for easy wear and removal, and the funnel neck can be worn up for extra warmth or folded down for a different look.

Compatibility

This gilet is designed for adult females and is available in various UK dress sizes. Its classic design and colour make it highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe items, from casual everyday wear like jeans and jumpers to more smart-casual outfits. It serves as an excellent layering piece, fitting comfortably over long-sleeved tops, shirts, and light knitwear, and can also be worn under heavier outer coats for added warmth in colder conditions.

Care

The Joules Braemar Luxe Diamond Quilted Gilet is designed for easy maintenance:

  • Machine Washable: Always refer to the care label inside the gilet for specific washing instructions. Typically, machine wash at a cool temperature with similar colours.
  • Drying: It is generally recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to preserve the integrity of the quilting and suedette details. Avoid high heat.
  • Suedette Care: If the suedette details appear flattened after washing, gently brush them with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore their texture.
  • Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the fabric and colour.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, avoiding the suedette areas.
