FAQs
Is the Stenton Gilet true to size?
The gilet is designed for a flattering, tailored fit. It is recommended to choose your usual size, though you may want to size up if you intend to layer it over heavy chunky knits.
Can I tumble dry this garment?
It is generally advised to avoid tumble drying to protect the integrity of the synthetic pile and the faux nubuck trim. Air drying is the safest method.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The fleece is designed to be windproof and insulating, but it is not a waterproof garment. It is best suited for dry, cold conditions or as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket.
Does the fleece shed after washing?
High-quality hollow fibre fleece is durable. If you wash it on a gentle cycle at 40 degrees inside out, shedding should be minimal to non-existent.
Can I iron the faux nubuck trim?
No, you should avoid ironing directly on the faux nubuck trim as high heat can permanently damage or melt the material.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track; if clear, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zip lubricant to ensure smooth movement.
Fleece appearance becomes matted after heavy use
Use a specialized fabric comb or a clean, soft-bristled brush to gently tease the fleece fibres back into a vertical position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hoggs of Fife Stenton Gilet remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
