Full details
The Joules Minx Diamond Quilted Gilet is a versatile, equestrian-inspired outer layer designed for women who value a blend of heritage style and practical warmth. It is an ideal companion for transitional weather, offering a lightweight core-insulation solution perfect for layering over knitwear during outdoor activities or city commutes.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is designed for warmth and style. While it can handle light mist, it is not a technical waterproof garment and should not be relied upon for heavy rain protection.
How does the sizing run?
It is designed as a slim fit. If you prefer a looser look or plan to wear bulky layers underneath, consider sizing up.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Most Joules quilted products can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but always verify the specific instructions on the garment's internal wash tag.
What does 'diamond quilted' mean for performance?
Diamond quilting is a method of stitching that holds the insulating material in place. It prevents the padding from clumping, ensuring heat is distributed evenly across your core.
Is this suitable for deep winter?
It is an excellent layering piece for autumn and spring, or mild winter days. In freezing conditions, you may need a heavier outer coat over the gilet.
Troubleshooting
The gilet feels too tight over my sweaters.
The Minx gilet features a tailored slim fit. If you frequently layer over thick knitwear, try sizing up or wearing thinner, high-performance thermal layers underneath instead.
The quilting pattern appears flattened after storage.
Gently shake the gilet and hang it on a sturdy, rounded-shoulder hanger for 24 hours to allow the insulating fill to recover its natural loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joules Minx Gilet retains its shape and insulating properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always check the internal care label for specific instructions; generally, a gentle machine wash on a cool setting is recommended.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a hanger to prevent the quilting from shifting or flattening. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Storage: Hang the gilet in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly between heavy coats to keep the quilting loft intact.
- Compatibility: This item is designed with a slim silhouette. If you prefer to wear it over chunky, oversized knitwear, you may want to consider sizing up for comfort.
