FAQs
What is the fit of the Rydal Padded Vest?

What materials are used in this vest?
The vest is crafted from a 100% recycled nylon shell and filled with 100% recycled polyester. It is fully lined.
How should I clean the vest?
It is recommended to dry clean the vest only. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying to maintain the fabric and leather details.
Does the vest have internal pockets?

What does the Longhorn embroidery signify?
The Longhorn embroidery at the chest and center back is a signature branding element of RM Williams, reflecting the brand's heritage and style.
Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?
The vest provides good core insulation due to its padded filling, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. However, for extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece under a more substantial outer jacket.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Refer to the model's measurements and the description of his typical sizing (size M top, W32 L32 trousers for a 188cm height). It is advisable to compare these with your own measurements and consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit for layering.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the puller back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth may help, but avoid over-application. Do not force the zipper.
Filling feels uneven after cleaning.
This is unlikely with professional dry cleaning. If it occurs, gently hand-smooth the filling through the fabric. Avoid harsh manipulation.
Leather puller is becoming dry.
Condition the leather puller sparingly with a leather conditioner suitable for accessories. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting conditioner on the fabric.
