Product Information
Full details
The Roman Patent Hooded Gilet is designed for women seeking a stylish yet functional layering piece for casual wear, especially during transitional seasons. Its key win is its bold, hi-shine finish combined with practical features like a showerproof hood and zipped pockets, offering warmth and a unique fashion statement. However, its 'showerproof' nature means it's not fully waterproof for heavy rain, and the synthetic material blend might not appeal to everyone.

FAQs
Is the Roman Patent Hooded Gilet fully waterproof?
No, it is showerproof, meaning it offers protection against light rain and drizzles but is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
What materials is the gilet made from?
The outer shell is 100% Polyamide, and it features 100% Polyester wadding and lining for warmth and comfort.
How should I clean my gilet?
Info needed: [Always refer to the care label inside your garment for specific washing and drying instructions.] Generally, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is suitable for minor marks. For a full clean, professional dry cleaning may be recommended to preserve the finish and padding.
Does this gilet have a hood?
Yes, it features a showerproof hood with a drawstring detail for added protection and adjustable fit.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet is equipped with zipped side pockets to securely store your essentials like keys or a phone.
What season is this gilet best suited for?
It is ideal for transitional seasons like autumn and spring, or milder winter days, as a stylish and warm layering piece.
Troubleshooting
Gilet appears dull or loses its shine.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, clean, damp cloth to remove any surface dust or residue. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals as they can damage the special finish.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed along the zipper teeth can act as a lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Gilet does not feel warm enough in colder temperatures.
This gilet is designed as a layering piece for transitional seasons. For very cold weather, wear additional thermal layers underneath or use it as a mid-layer beneath a heavier winter coat for enhanced warmth.
Water doesn't bead off as expected during light rain.
While showerproof, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the fabric. For optimal performance, consider re-proofing sprays designed for synthetic outerwear, but always test on an inconspicuous area first and refer to the garment's care instructions if available. Ensure the gilet is clean, as dirt can reduce water repellency.
