FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is not explicitly rated as waterproof; it is best suited for light protection and layering in dry or mildly damp conditions.
What material is used for the padding?
The gilet is crafted from polyester, which provides consistent warmth and loft while remaining lightweight.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The design features external pockets; please refer to your specific garment for confirmation on internal storage.
Can I wear this over a thick winter coat?
It is intended as an outer layer itself or over a sweater; wearing it over a thick coat may cause the armholes to feel tight and restrictive.
How do I determine the right size?
The gilet follows standard UK dress sizing. If you plan to wear bulky knitwear underneath, consider if you prefer a slim or slightly relaxed fit.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks.
Ensure the zipper track is free of fabric lint or stray threads; gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to provide natural lubrication.
Visible creases upon arrival.
Hang the gilet in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or use a low-heat garment steamer to release wrinkles in the polyester fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Izabel London gilet maintains its shape and loft, always check the garment's internal care label before cleaning. Generally, polyester puffer materials should be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using harsh bleaches or tumble drying at high heat to prevent damage to the synthetic fill and fabric. For compatibility, this gilet is designed as a layering piece; consider your typical sweater bulk when selecting your UK size (e.g., sizes 8-20 available) to ensure the armholes remain comfortable.
