FAQs
What season is this gilet best suited for?
This Roman Originals gilet is ideal for the Winter season due to its longline design, cosy funnel neck, and hood, providing excellent warmth as an outer layer.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from 100% Polyester, which offers some natural water resistance, but it is not specified as fully waterproof. It will likely repel light rain or snow but is not designed for heavy downpours.
How should I wash this gilet?
It is recommended to machine wash your gilet at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Air dry flat and iron on a cool setting if necessary, avoiding direct heat.
Does this gilet run true to size?
While fit can vary, Roman Originals generally aims for true-to-size garments. The gilet is shaped through the waist for a flattering fit. If you plan to wear very thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up for comfort.
Can I wear this gilet indoors?
While primarily an outdoor garment, you can wear it indoors if you're in a cooler environment or prefer an extra layer of warmth. The double-ended zip allows for adjustable comfort.
What kind of outfits pair well with the camo print?
The camo print pairs well with neutral, solid-colored items such as black, grey, white, or olive green knitwear and jeans. It makes a strong statement, so balancing it with simpler pieces often works best.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too bulky when layered
Opt for thinner base layers like fine-gauge knitwear or thermal tops instead of very thick sweaters. The gilet is designed to provide core warmth, so lighter layers underneath can still be effective.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you operate it. For stiff zippers, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help.
Hood drawcord becomes uneven or difficult to adjust
Gently pull each end of the drawcord simultaneously to re-center it. If it's knotted, carefully untie and re-thread it through the hood channel, ensuring it moves freely.
Gilet isn't as warm as expected in very cold conditions
This gilet is an excellent layering piece. For extreme cold, ensure you're wearing appropriate thermal base layers and warm knitwear underneath. It's designed to provide additional insulation over your clothing.

Care Instructions
To ensure your gilet remains in excellent condition, follow these general care guidelines for 100% Polyester fabric. Always check the garment's specific care label for precise instructions.
- Machine Wash: Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.
- Wash with Similar Colors: To prevent color bleeding.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can weaken polyester fibers and alter the color.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry flat or hang dry to maintain shape and prevent shrinkage or damage. Excessive heat can damage polyester.
- Cool Iron Only: If necessary, iron on a low setting inside out, using a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat on the fabric.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Most polyester garments do not require dry cleaning.
Proper care will help maintain the gilet's shape, color, and insulating properties for many seasons.
