Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight/loose

Adjust the elasticated back channel using the popper fasteners for a customized fit.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Quilting appears uneven

Gently smooth out the quilting by hand. Minor irregularities can occur with wear and washing; follow care instructions to minimize this.

Pocket poppers are stiff

Gently work the poppers back and forth a few times. Avoid forcing them, which could cause damage.
