FAQs
What kind of weather is this gilet suitable for?
This Padded Longline Hooded Gilet is ideal for autumn and milder winter weather. It provides warmth and protection without the bulk, perfect for layering during cooler months.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, garments made from polyamide and polyester typically allow for machine washing on a gentle cycle. However, always check the care label inside your specific gilet for precise washing and drying instructions to ensure longevity.
Is the hood removable?
The product description states 'A draw cord and hood provide extra protection,' implying the hood is integrated and not removable. It features a drawcord for adjustability.
Does it have inner pockets?
The gilet is described as having 'functional zipped side pockets.' Inner pockets are not mentioned in the product details provided.
What does 'longline' mean in this context?
'Longline' means the gilet extends further down the body than a standard gilet, typically past the waist, offering additional coverage, warmth, and a stylish, elongated silhouette.
Is the material waterproof?
While polyamide often offers some degree of water resistance, the gilet is not explicitly described as waterproof. It will offer protection against light moisture or drizzles, but it may not be sufficient in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or loose when layered.
This gilet is described as 'True to size'. If you plan to wear very thick layers underneath, consider going up one size. If it feels too loose, you might need to try your standard size or consider the intended regular fit.
Gilet doesn't seem warm enough in very cold weather.
The gilet is designed for 'colder months' as a padded layer. For very low temperatures or extreme winter conditions, it's best worn as a mid-layer under a heavier, more protective coat, or ensure your base layers are sufficiently warm.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently jiggle the zipper tab and try to move it slowly. Avoid forcing it, as this can cause damage. A small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can sometimes help.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.
Due to the polyamide and polyester material, creases can sometimes form. Hanging the gilet immediately after washing or removing it promptly from the dryer can help. If necessary, use a steamer or iron on a very low heat setting, protecting the fabric with a cloth.

It pairs well with jeans for a casual look or can be dressed up slightly with trousers for a smart-casual ensemble. The `Green` colour offers versatile styling potential. Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Padded Longline Hooded Gilet, proper care is essential. It is made from `100% Polyamide` for the outer shell and `100% Polyester` for both the wadding and lining. Generally, items made from these materials benefit from a gentle machine wash with similar colours. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to prevent shrinking or damage to the padding. Ironing is typically not recommended, or if necessary, use a very low heat setting. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate and recommended washing and drying instructions.
