FAQs
Is the Gant waistcoat waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which is effective against light showers but not fully waterproof.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a delicate cycle and a detergent safe for down to preserve the insulation properties.
What does 650 fill capacity mean?
This refers to the quality and loft of the down; a 650 fill provides a great balance of lightweight warmth.
What is the fit like for this item?
It is a regular fit, designed to be comfortable and easily layered without feeling too tight.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the garment is constructed using recycled synthetic materials.
Does it have internal pockets?
The primary storage consists of secure side zip pockets on the exterior.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
Small amounts of shedding are common with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out.
The gilet looks flat after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to redistribute the down clusters evenly throughout the baffles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gant waistcoat, follow these guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically formulated for down garments. Use low-heat tumble drying with clean tennis balls to help fluff the down and prevent clumping.
- Compatibility: The regular fit is designed to accommodate standard base layers. If you intend to wear it under a slim-fit coat, ensure the coat has sufficient room.
- Storage: Store the garment hanging on a wide-shoulder hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and the distribution of the down insulation.
