Product Information

Full details

The Farah Classic Arsenal Wadded Gilet is an essential layering piece for adult men seeking a balance of core warmth and freedom of movement during transitional weather. Designed with a durable nylon exterior and a quilted wadded interior, it is ideal for wearing over knitwear or sweatshirts; however, as it lacks a hood, it is best suited for dry or light-wind conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet is made from nylon and offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not a waterproof garment.

Can I wear this under a larger winter coat?

Yes, its low-profile design allows it to function effectively as a mid-layer under a larger parka or overcoat for extra insulation.

Does the sizing run true to size?

Yes, it follows standard adult sizing. It is designed as a regular fit, providing enough room for comfortable layering underneath.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The vertical zipped pockets are sized for standard accessories, including wallets and most modern smartphones.

What is the primary material?

The outer shell and inner lining are constructed from durable nylon, chosen for its lightweight and weather-resistant properties.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stuck or difficult to close

Ensure no fabric from the inner lining is caught in the zip track. Run a pencil lead or wax along the teeth to lubricate them.

Outer fabric looks slightly wrinkled

Hang the garment in a bathroom while running a hot shower; the steam will naturally help relax the nylon wrinkles without the need for ironing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your gilet lasts for many seasons, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Check the internal care label for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water to protect the nylon shell and inner wadding.
  2. Drying: Air dry the garment on a hanger away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the nylon fibers or shrinkage.
  3. Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to maintain the structure of the quilting.
  4. Compatibility: This garment pairs best with base layers like crewneck sweaters, hoodies, or long-sleeve flannel shirts.
