FAQs

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is crafted from a soft polyester blend that includes comfort-focused insulation and a fleece finish.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides warmth and is designed for layering. While it offers comfort-focused insulation, it is best suited for mild to cool weather or as an additional layer under a heavier jacket in colder conditions.

How should I wash the gilet?

It is recommended to machine wash the gilet cold with like colors, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on low heat if needed.

What does 'relaxed silhouette' mean for the fit?

A relaxed silhouette means the garment is cut with extra ease, offering a looser, more comfortable fit without being overly baggy. It allows for easy movement and layering.

Does the gilet have adjustable features?

The gilet features a snap-button placket for closure and potential adjustment of coverage. It has a fixed crew neck and a straight cut.

Can I wear this gilet for outdoor activities like hiking?

The gilet is primarily designed for casual wear and light warmth. While the sleeveless design allows for arm movement, the polyester material may not be ideal for highly breathable needs during intense physical activity. It's best suited for moderate outdoor conditions or as a layering piece.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too loose

Consider layering over bulkier items like thick sweaters or choosing a smaller size if available. The relaxed fit is intentional, but sizing can be adjusted with layering choices.

Zipper is stiff

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a bit of lip balm to the zipper teeth and try again.

Material feels rough after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can sometimes reduce the fleece feel. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
