FAQs

What material is the Roman Diamond Quilted Hooded Gilet made from?

The gilet is crafted from 100% Polyester for both its wadding and lining, providing warmth and a smooth, padded feel.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?

While providing warmth as a layering piece, its sleeveless design means it's best for moderate cold or as an additional layer over warm clothing in colder conditions. For extreme cold, consider pairing it with substantial long-sleeved thermal wear.

How should I clean my gilet?

Info needed: Please refer to the care label inside your gilet for specific washing instructions. Generally, polyester garments benefit from a gentle machine wash in cold water or hand washing, followed by air drying to maintain shape and padding.

Does the gilet have pockets?

Yes, the gilet features practical side pockets, perfect for keeping your hands warm or storing small essentials securely.

What size is this gilet?

This specific product is a UK women's dress size 8. It is designed to be true to size.

Can the hood be removed?

The product description indicates a 'cosy hood with adjustable drawcord' but does not mention it being detachable. Therefore, assume the hood is permanently attached.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels bulky or restrictive when layered.

Ensure your base layers are not too thick. Opt for thinner knitwear or thermal tops for optimal comfort and mobility when layering under the gilet.

Hood drawcord slips and doesn't stay tight.

After adjusting the drawcord, tie a simple knot (e.g., a bow knot or square knot) to secure it in place. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through all eyelets or channels.

The gilet appears creased after storage.

Hang the gilet in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a fabric steamer on a low setting. A cool iron can also be used, always with a cloth barrier if unsure.

  • Washing: Info needed: Specific washing instructions (e.g., machine wash cold, delicate cycle, hand wash). Generally, polyester garments can be machine washed cold with similar colors. Avoid hot water to prevent shrinking or damaging the padding.
  • Drying: Info needed: Drying instructions (e.g., tumble dry low, air dry flat). Air drying flat is often recommended for padded items to maintain shape.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, avoiding direct contact with any printed or textured areas. Usually, polyester garments are wrinkle-resistant.
  • Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape, especially for the padded areas.
