Product Information
Full details
The Farah Classic Arsenal Wadded Gilet is designed for the modern man seeking a practical layering solution for unpredictable weather. It offers excellent core warmth through its padded construction while maintaining full arm mobility, making it ideal for outdoor activities or casual urban commuting. A key caveat to note is that while it is highly versatile for layering over sweatshirts, it is a synthetic nylon garment and should be kept away from open flames or high-heat sources to maintain the integrity of the fabric.

FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
The nylon fabric offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not a fully waterproof garment.
How does the sizing run?
This gilet features a regular fit, which is designed to fit true to size while allowing enough room for a sweater underneath.
Can I wear this over a blazer?
The regular fit is generally intended for knitwear or casual shirts; wearing it over a structured blazer may feel tight in the shoulders.
What is the best way to clean it?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle and hang dry to preserve the loft of the padding.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large phone?
Yes, the vertical zipped pockets are designed to hold modern smartphones securely.
Is this suitable for freezing temperatures?
While it provides good core warmth, it is best used as a layering piece in freezing conditions rather than as a primary outer coat.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when opening
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider applying a small amount of dry lubricant like beeswax or graphite to the zip track.
Garment looks wrinkled after storage
Hang the gilet in a warm, humid room like a bathroom after a shower; the steam will naturally relax the nylon fibers.
Padding appears clumped after washing
Tumble dry on a very low heat setting with a clean tennis ball to help redistribute the wadding evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Farah Classic gilet, always follow the care label instructions sewn inside the garment. Due to the nylon construction, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the padding and the synthetic fibers. When layering, the regular fit is compatible with standard-sized sweaters and hoodies. Store the gilet on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and shoulders when not in use.
