FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The nylon material offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry, cold conditions.
How should I wash the garment?
We recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the special flocked texture of the exterior.
What is the fit like?
It is designed as a regular fit, meaning it runs true to size and allows room for layering underneath.
Can I wear this in deep winter?
It provides excellent core warmth, but for extreme winter temperatures, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.
What does the flocked finish feel like?
The flocked finish provides a soft, velvety texture that differentiates it from standard, smooth nylon outerwear.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through the fabric
Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, which can enlarge the hole.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and apply a small amount of graphite or candle wax to the zipper track to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for a regular fit and is best paired with mid-weight base layers like long-sleeve tees or light sweaters. To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the flocked exterior, avoid machine washing at high temperatures or harsh scrubbing. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the velvety texture.
- Storage: Hang the waistcoat on a wide, contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the loft of the down filling.
- Longevity: Keep away from sharp objects that could snag the nylon or damage the flocked surface.
