Product Information
Full details
The Joules Heritage Padded Gilet is an essential layering piece for men who prioritize both functional warmth and rural-inspired style during transitional weather. Its primary benefit is providing core insulation without the bulk of a heavy jacket, making it perfect for weekend walks or commutes. Please note that as a polyester-based garment, it is best suited for light to moderate outdoor activities rather than extreme weather exposure.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is designed for light protection against crisp, breezy weather but is not rated as waterproof for heavy rainfall.
Can I wear this over a thick winter coat?
It is designed as a layering piece to go over sweaters or shirts. Wearing it over a thick coat may be uncomfortable due to the restricted fit.
How should I store the gilet?
Use the built-in suedette hanger loop to hang the gilet in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
What is the best way to clean the suedette trim?
Spot clean the suedette areas gently with a damp cloth; avoid submerging these specific parts in harsh detergents.
Is this product machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle, though air drying is preferred to keep the padding lofted.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zip is clear of the teeth; a light rub with a graphite pencil can help lubricate the teeth for smoother movement.
Garment looks wrinkled after storage
Hang the gilet in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a low-heat garment steamer to smooth out the polyester fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a garment, 'setup' involves layering appropriately. For optimal results, wear it over base layers or light knitwear rather than bulky coats, which may feel restrictive. To care for your Joules Heritage Gilet, machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleaching and iron only at low temperatures if necessary to protect the suedette trims. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the padded baffles and the synthetic outer fabric.
