FAQs
Can I wear this under a heavy coat?
Yes, the gilet is specifically designed with a lightweight construction that allows it to serve as an effective thermal mid-layer beneath a winter jacket.
Is the leather branding waterproof?
While the leather is high-quality, it is not fully waterproof. It should be kept as dry as possible to prevent stiffening or discoloration.
How should I clean the sueded binding?
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water or soap on these specific areas.
Does this gilet run true to size?
The Basswood Gilet is designed for a sleek, tailored fit; if you intend to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may consider how it fits over your usual layering pieces.
Is it suitable for rainy weather?
It provides warmth in cool, dry conditions, but it is not a waterproof garment and should be protected during heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the quilted surface
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the area; avoid soaking the garment or using harsh detergents.
Stretch panels look slightly frayed
Use a fabric shaver or small scissors to gently trim away any loose pills without catching the underlying threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, proper care is essential. Because the garment features leather branding and sueded binding, it is not suitable for aggressive machine washing. Always refer to the internal care label, but generally, a gentle spot-clean of the outer fabric is recommended for minor marks. Store the gilet on a shaped hanger to maintain the structure of the quilted shoulders and prevent unnecessary stretching of the side panels. Avoid storing in damp areas, as the leather elements may be susceptible to moisture damage over long periods.
