FAQs
What season is this gilet best suited for?
This gilet is ideal for Autumn and Winter as a layering piece, providing warmth in cooler temperatures. Its sleeveless design means it's best for milder cold or layered under heavier coats in very cold conditions.
How should I style this gilet?
For a 'cosy fall look,' layer it over your favorite knits, pair it with denim jeans, and complete the outfit with ankle boots. It's versatile enough to be worn with various casual and semi-casual autumn/winter ensembles.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed from 100% Polyester for the wadding, lining, and main outer material, offering durability and warmth.
Is the gilet true to size?
Yes, it features a 'Regular fit' and is designed to be 'True to size'. You should select your usual dress size for a comfortable fit.
What is the approximate length of this gilet?
The length of this gilet is approximately 90cm, offering extended coverage.
Can this gilet be worn in the rain?
While polyester offers some water resistance, this gilet is not specified as waterproof. It will provide some protection against light drizzle, but for heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer layer is recommended.
How do I care for the quilted detailing?
To maintain the quilted detailing, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry flat or on a hanger. Avoid high heat during drying and direct ironing on the quilted areas to prevent flattening or damage.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too restrictive or too loose when worn over clothing.
The gilet is designed with a 'Regular fit' that is 'True to size'. If you plan to wear very thick layers underneath, consider if sizing up might provide more comfort. If it feels too loose, ensure your usual size was selected, as it should fit comfortably.
Quilted pattern appears flattened or creased after storage.
Hang the gilet in a well-ventilated area for a few hours. A garment steamer can gently restore loft and remove creases. Hold the steamer a few inches away from the fabric and move it continuously. Avoid pressing down directly on the quilting.
Zip or popper fastenings become difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. For stiff zippers, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help. For poppers, ensure alignment before pressing firmly. Avoid forcing them, which can damage the mechanism or fabric.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure your gilet maintains its warmth, shape, and stylish appearance for seasons to come. As the gilet is made from 100% Polyester (wadding, lining, and main material), follow these general guidelines. Always refer to the specific care label attached to your garment for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the quilted texture and prevents potential heat damage to polyester.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth to avoid direct contact with the fabric, which can melt or damage polyester. Avoid ironing the quilted areas if possible.
- Dry Cleaning: Info needed: [Check garment label for specific dry-cleaning recommendations].
