Full details
The Gant Quilted Vest is a versatile, seasonal essential designed for men seeking a blend of classic style and practical utility in cooler weather. Featuring a refined quilted design and a water-repellent finish, this vest provides an excellent extra layer for outdoor errands or casual commutes. Note that while it handles light rain well thanks to its DWR coating, it is not a fully waterproof garment and is best suited for transitional weather rather than heavy storms.

FAQs
Is the vest machine washable?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but it is important to follow the specific care instructions on the label to protect the DWR finish.
Does it provide enough warmth for winter?
It is designed as a mid-layer or light outer layer. For extreme winter temperatures, you may need a heavier coat over the top.
What does the regular fit mean?
A regular fit means the vest offers a comfortable, classic silhouette that is neither too tight nor too baggy, allowing for natural movement.
Is the material waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it sheds light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy, sustained rain.
Can I iron this garment?
Check the garment tag, but generally, ironing polyester vests is not recommended as it can damage the synthetic fibers and the DWR coating.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofing spray designed for synthetic garments.
Stiff or sticky zipper
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider running a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth.
Wrinkling after storage
Hang the vest on a wide-shouldered hanger to allow it to reshape naturally; if needed, use a low-heat steamer, avoiding direct contact with the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This vest is designed for immediate wear. To ensure the longevity of the garment and its protective features:
- Care: Always refer to the internal care label. Due to the DWR treatment, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent properties.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water with a gentle cycle. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the quilted structure.
- Compatibility: This piece fits true to size and pairs exceptionally well with Gant knitwear or denim. Its neutral black color makes it highly compatible with most of a standard wardrobe.
