FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is not designed to be waterproof. It provides warmth and style for cooler, dry conditions. For rainy weather, we recommend pairing it with a waterproof outer layer.
How true to size is the gilet?
The gilet is generally designed to fit true to size for layering. If you plan to wear very thick sweaters underneath, you might consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, but it's listed as UK 8.
Can I wear this in very cold winter weather?
This gilet is ideal for chilly weather and milder winter days. For very cold or extreme winter conditions, it's best used as a warm mid-layer under a heavy winter coat, or combined with other thermal layers.
What is the recycled polyester component for?
The 55% recycled polyester component uses post-consumer plastic waste, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability in fashion.
How do I remove the faux fur trim?
The faux fur trim is typically attached to the hood with small buttons or a zipper. Carefully unbutton or unzip it from the hood to remove. Store it flat to maintain its shape.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Info needed: While many gilets include pockets for convenience, the product description does not explicitly state the presence or type of pockets on this specific model. Please check product images or further specifications if available.
Troubleshooting
Faux fur trim looks matted or flattened.
Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush or a comb to restore its fluffiness. If it's been washed, ensure it was air-dried and gently fluffed during the process.
Gilet feels less warm or padded after washing.
This can happen if the padding settles. After washing, gently redistribute the padding by patting the gilet. Tumble dry on a *low* setting with a few clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the insulation.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully remove any obstructions. If it continues to stick, you can try rubbing a graphite pencil or a tiny bit of wax along the teeth to lubricate it.
Gilet has an odor after wear/storage.
Ensure the gilet is fully dry before storing. Air it out in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists, wash it according to care instructions, adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to neutralize odors.

Care Instructions
To ensure your SoulCal 2Zip Gilet maintains its quality and extends its lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- Read the Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the gilet's internal label.
- Machine Wash: The gilet is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water to protect the fabric and padding.
- Faux Fur Trim: Consider removing the faux fur trim before washing the gilet to maintain its fluffiness and prevent matting. If washing the trim, do so separately on a delicate cycle or hand wash.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and lining.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry flat. Avoid high heat, which can damage the faux fur or polyester fibers. Gently fluff the gilet as it dries to restore its loft.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hung to prevent compression of the padding.
