FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for winter?
It provides great warmth for mild winter days or as a layering piece under a thicker coat, but it is primarily designed for transitional weather.
Does it have internal pockets?
The Fairbanks Gilet features a streamlined design; please refer to the specific garment tags for pocket placement.
Can I tumble dry this gilet?
It is recommended to air dry to avoid damaging the synthetic materials and the water-repellent finish.
Is the material noisy when walking?
No, the polyester fabric is soft and designed to be quiet and comfortable during regular movement.
What should I do if I get caught in heavy rain?
While the gilet is showerproof, it is not waterproof. If you are caught in a downpour, ensure you dry it thoroughly at room temperature once you are indoors.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems to be fading
After several washes, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the showerproof properties.
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Spot clean the area with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the polyester weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet remains in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the showerproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the fabric integrity.
- Layering: This item is designed to be worn over knit sweaters, long-sleeved tees, or blouses. Its fit allows it to be worn under a larger waterproof shell coat if additional heavy-duty weather protection is required.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
