FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is made of polyester which provides resistance to light wind and moisture, but it is not intended for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can I tumble dry the gilet?
It is generally recommended to air dry the garment to maintain the integrity of the polyester padding and outer shell.
What size should I choose?
The gilet follows standard women's sizing. If you plan on wearing thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer a size that offers slightly more room.
How do I remove minor stains?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent to spot-clean the affected area rather than washing the entire garment.
Is the high neck adjustable?
The neck is fixed, but you can adjust the zipper height to open or close it according to your comfort level.
What season is this best for?
It is perfectly suited for transitional seasons like autumn and spring, or as an added layer during mild winters.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stuck
Check for loose threads or fabric caught in the teeth. Carefully pull the fabric away while gently moving the slider.
Loss of volume/padding
Shake the gilet out after drying to redistribute the filling and help the fibers regain their loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, please follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle at low temperatures (usually 30°C) to protect the padding.
- Drying: Air dry naturally on a hanger away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the padding from losing its loft.
- Storage: Hang the garment in a cool, dry place when not in use to avoid creasing or flattening of the insulation.
- Compatibility: It works best when paired with long-sleeve base layers or knitwear of a similar aesthetic. Avoid wearing with overly bulky oversized sweaters that may create unwanted tension on the zip fastening.
