FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
While the gilet features a padded silhouette and funnel neckline for warmth, it is primarily designed as a layering piece for transitioning into autumn or for mild spring days. For very cold winter conditions, you would likely need a heavier, more insulated outer layer.
Is the hood removable?
Based on the product description, the hood is integrated ('Patent Hooded Gilet') and described as 'showerproof hood', implying it is fixed and not designed to be removed.
How do I clean the high-shine material?
For specific cleaning instructions, always refer to the care label inside the garment. Generally, for polyamide with a high-shine finish, a gentle machine wash in cold water or hand washing is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents and strong scrubbing, and air dry to preserve the finish.
Does this gilet have internal pockets?
The product description specifies 'zipped side pockets'. There is no mention of internal pockets.
What kind of fit does it have?
This gilet is described as having a 'regular fit and true to size', meaning it should fit comfortably according to standard UK size 14 measurements without being too tight or too loose.
Can I wear this gilet in the rain?
The gilet features a 'showerproof hood', which means it offers protection against light rain or drizzles. It is not fully waterproof, so for heavy downpours, a fully waterproof coat would be more appropriate.
What materials is the gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed from 100% Polyamide for the outer shell, with 100% Polyester wadding and lining for insulation and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too loose or shapeless
Utilize the internal drawstring detail at the waist. Gently pull the drawstring to cinch the gilet, creating a more fitted and defined silhouette. Tie it off to secure the desired shape.
Zipper snags or feels stiff
Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is stiff, try gently rubbing a graphite pencil lead along the teeth of the zipper. This can lubricate the mechanism and allow for smoother operation.
High-shine finish appears dull or scuffed
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution diluted in water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and then air drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Roman Patent Hooded Gilet, follow these general care guidelines, always checking the specific garment care label for precise instructions:
- Material: Made from 100% Polyamide with 100% Polyester wadding and lining.
- Washing: Typically, polyamide and polyester garments can be machine washed. Use a cool or cold water cycle (e.g., 30°C or 86°F) with a gentle detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging the gilet on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat. If tumble drying is permitted by the label, use a very low heat setting to prevent damage to the patent finish.
- Ironing: Generally, gilets of this material and finish do not require ironing. If creasing occurs, a very low heat iron with a protective cloth may be used, or steaming from a distance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the gilet for extended periods to maintain its padded silhouette.
