Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Stenton Fleece Gilet is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and country dwellers who require a reliable insulating layer that balances functionality with a refined aesthetic. Crafted from high-pile hollow fibre polyester, this gilet offers excellent thermal properties while remaining breathable, making it a versatile choice for variable weather conditions; however, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best utilized as part of a layered clothing system rather than a standalone outer shell in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is the Stenton Gilet waterproof?
No, it is designed to be windproof and insulating but does not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I tumble dry this gilet?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to prevent damage to the faux nubuck trim and to maintain the integrity of the fleece pile.
Does it have an internal pocket?
This model features two secure zippered external pockets for essential storage.
What is the best way to clean the faux nubuck trim?
Gently wipe the trim with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the suede-effect material.
Is this gilet suitable for cold winters?
It provides excellent core warmth, but for extreme winter conditions, it should be worn under a heavy coat or parka.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check for trapped fleece fibers in the track and ensure the teeth are clear of debris; apply a small amount of paraffin wax if movement remains difficult.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, which is a natural occurrence with high-pile synthetic fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Hoggs of Fife Stenton Gilet, adhere to these guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash at 40°C. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, which may degrade the hollow fibre structure. Hang dry naturally away from direct high-heat sources to maintain the fabric's loft.
- Compatibility: This garment functions best when layered over a moisture-wicking base layer and a long-sleeve shirt. It can easily sit under a waterproof shell for complete protection during heavy rain.
- Fit: The XXL sizing is tailored for standard adult proportions; consider wearing a thermal shirt underneath to ensure the best fit if the garment feels slightly loose.
