FAQs
Is this gilet true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a tailored fit. If you prefer to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
No. Tumble drying will likely shrink and damage the merino wool fibers significantly.
How do I remove wrinkles without an iron?
Hanging the gilet in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes will often release light wrinkles without direct heat.
What is the best way to store it for the summer?
Clean the garment first, then store it in a breathable cotton garment bag with cedar blocks to protect against moths.
Is the zip made of plastic or metal?
The zip features a high-quality finish designed to match the sophisticated look of the knitwear.
Troubleshooting
The wool appears slightly fuzzy or has small balls (pilling).
Pilling is a natural trait of wool. Use a fabric shaver or gentle garment comb to remove the surface fibers.
The garment has stretched out of shape after washing.
Avoid hanging damp knitwear. Reshape it gently while wet and dry it flat to allow fibers to recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lyle & Scott gilet retains its shape and texture, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water using a detergent specifically formulated for wool. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to prevent felting.
- Drying: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel to dry. Never hang the wet gilet, as the weight of the water will stretch the wool fibers and distort the fit.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid using wire hangers, which can cause shoulder bumps and structural stretching over time.
- Pilling: Use a fabric shaver or a specialized sweater comb gently if you notice small fiber balls accumulating in high-friction areas.
