FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the Marlow Knitted Fleece Gilet is not waterproof. It is designed as a warm mid-layer and should be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
What is Milano-knit fabric?
Milano-knit is a type of dense, double-knit fabric that provides a more structured and durable finish than standard fleece, offering a sophisticated look and improved shape retention.

While the product is listed for adults, Schoffel offers various cuts; please check the specific MPN and sizing guide to ensure the fit meets your requirements.
Can I wear this under a blazer?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it suitable for layering under various styles, including casual jackets and thicker coats.
How should I clean minor stains?
Spot clean minor marks with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh rubbing to keep the knit fibers intact.
Troubleshooting

Use a specialized fabric shaver or a garment comb to gently remove pills after washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or fleece fabrics.
- Drying: Air dry the garment flat on a drying rack to prevent the knit from stretching or losing its shape. Avoid tumble drying, as the high heat can damage the fibers.
- Storage: Store folded rather than hung on thin wire hangers to preserve the structure of the shoulders.
- Compatibility: This gilet is best paired with base layers or flannel shirts and fits comfortably underneath waterproof shells or heavier overcoats.
