FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the LeMieux Frankie Fleece Gilet is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer or for light outdoor activity in dry conditions.
How should I wash the gilet?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with like colors. Ensure all zippers are closed to protect the fabric and hardware.
Can I wear this while riding?
Yes, the two-way zip and dipped hem are specifically designed to enhance comfort and coverage while in the saddle.
Does it fit true to size?
The gilet is designed for a tailored fit. If you prefer to wear thick jumpers underneath, you may want to consider your layering habits when choosing your size.
What is the benefit of the bonded fleece?
Bonded fleece offers a denser construction than standard fleece, providing superior heat retention and a more structured, durable finish.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the teeth and apply a small amount of clear candle wax or graphite to the zipper track to lubricate it.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove surface bobbles caused by friction with stable equipment or daily wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical fleece garment, proper care will extend its lifespan. For daily maintenance, shake the gilet out after being in the stables to remove loose hay or dust. When washing, use a cool machine cycle with similar colors and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, which can affect the performance of the fleece fibers. Always zip up all zippers before laundering to prevent snagging. The gilet pairs perfectly with base-layer long-sleeve tops for a complete equestrian ensemble, and its slim fit allows it to be worn comfortably underneath a heavier winter jacket on particularly frigid days.
