FAQs
Is the Roman Green Patent Hooded Gilet waterproof?
The gilet features a *showerproof* hood, which provides protection against light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
What material is this gilet made from?
This gilet is made from 100% Polyamide, which contributes to its unique hi-shine finish and durability.
How should I clean my gilet?
Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for the best cleaning instructions. Generally, polyamide garments should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dried to preserve the material and finish.
Does the gilet run true to size?
Yes, the Roman Green Patent Hooded Gilet is designed with a regular fit and is described as true to size, meaning you should select your usual size.
Can I wear this gilet in colder winter weather?
While it has a padded silhouette for warmth, it is primarily designed as a layering piece for transitioning into Autumn. For very cold winter weather, it's best used as an additional layer under a heavier, more insulated coat or worn over very warm clothing.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features zipped side pockets, providing secure storage for your personal items.
Does the gilet have a hood?
Yes, it includes a showerproof hood with drawstring detail for added protection and style.
Troubleshooting
Gilet appears wrinkled or creased.
Hang the gilet immediately after wear or washing. For persistent wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it a safe distance from the fabric. Avoid direct, hot ironing on the glossy finish.
Zippers feel stiff or sticky.
Gently rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Move the zipper pull up and down a few times to distribute the graphite.
The hi-shine finish seems dull or has lost its luster.
Ensure you are following the care label's washing instructions precisely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials. If the dullness is due to surface dirt, a gentle wipe with a damp, soft cloth may restore some shine. Store properly to prevent friction or compression that could dull the surface.

Care
To maintain the unique hi-shine finish and structural integrity of your gilet (100% Polyamide), it is crucial to follow the care instructions on the garment's internal label. General care tips for polyamide often include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle, preferably with cold water. Avoid hot water, which can damage the material and finish.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, as this can affect the padding and gloss. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on the hi-shine surface. If necessary, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth or steam lightly from a distance. The best approach is to avoid ironing altogether by smoothing out wrinkles while damp.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
