FAQs
Is this gilet fully waterproof?
No, the gilet is described as 'showerproof,' meaning it offers light protection from drizzles and light rain. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
How should I clean my Patent Hooded Gilet?
Always check the care label inside the gilet for specific instructions. Generally, garments made of polyester and polyamide wadding can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dried. Avoid tumble drying on high heat to protect the high-shine finish and padding.
What season is this gilet best suited for?
This gilet is ideal for transitioning into Autumn or for cooler spring days, offering a cosy layer without excessive bulk. It's perfect when you need a bit of warmth but not a full coat.
Does the gilet have internal pockets?
The product description highlights secure zipped side pockets. There is no mention of internal pockets within the gilet.
Is the hood removable?
The description mentions a 'showerproof hood' but does not specify if it is removable. Based on the description, it appears to be an integrated design.
How does the sizing run for this gilet?
The product is described as a 'Womens Regular fit' and 'True to size.' We recommend ordering your usual size for the best fit.
Can I iron this gilet?
It is generally advised to avoid direct ironing on high-shine finishes. If necessary, use a garment steamer on a very low setting, keeping it away from direct contact with the fabric surface to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Gilet appears creased or wrinkled after storage.
Hang the gilet immediately after unpacking or use. For stubborn creases, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping it away from direct contact with the high-shine surface. Avoid ironing directly.
High-shine finish looks dull or has minor marks.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution dabbed gently with a clean cloth, followed by a wipe with a fresh damp cloth, can be effective. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Zip fastening gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed along the teeth can help lubricate it.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the gilet's high-shine finish and padded insulation. Always refer to the specific care label sewn into your gilet, but general guidance for the materials (100% Polyamide Wadding, 100% Polyester Lining, 100% Polyester Hood Detail) includes:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle, preferably with cold water, to protect the padding and finish.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, as this can damage the high-shine coating and internal wadding.
- Ironing: Avoid direct ironing. If necessary, use a steamer on a very low setting, keeping it away from direct contact with the fabric surface to prevent damage to the glossy finish.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
