Full details
The Schoffel Marlow Knitted Fleece Gilet is designed for adults who prioritize warmth and functionality without compromising on a refined, classic country aesthetic. Crafted from premium Milano-knit fleece, it serves as a highly versatile mid-layer suitable for both outdoor activities and casual daily wear. While it offers excellent durability and structural integrity, users should note that as a knit-fleece garment, it provides moderate weather resistance rather than full waterproof protection.

FAQs
Is the Marlow Gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is made from a knitted fleece material that provides warmth but is not waterproof or water-resistant.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, the gilet is specifically designed to be thin enough to serve as an effective mid-layer under a coat.
Does the Milano-knit fabric stretch out over time?
The Milano-knit is specifically chosen for its structural integrity and resistance to sagging and stretching.
What is the best way to wash this gilet?
We recommend a gentle machine wash at low temperatures and drying it flat.
Is this gilet suitable for formal occasions?
Its clean, structured appearance makes it appropriate for smart-casual events, though it is primarily designed for country and outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Gently remove surface pills using a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to restore the smooth texture.
Garment feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and cause stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cold machine wash cycle with a mild detergent designed for fleece or knit fabrics. Avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Air dry the garment flat on a drying rack away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or open fires, to prevent shrinking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry closet. Hanging for long periods is generally acceptable due to the structured knit, though folding is preferred if not worn for extended durations.
- Compatibility: Best paired with breathable base layers to maximize the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece material.
