FAQs
Is this garment machine washable?
Yes, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle and air dry flat.
Can I wear this under a winter coat?
Absolutely, its slim profile makes it an excellent mid-layer for added insulation.
What does 'two-way zip' mean?
It means the zipper has two sliders, allowing you to open the coat from either the top or the bottom.
Does the fleece shrink?
To prevent shrinkage, avoid high-heat washing and tumble drying.
Is the fit true to size?
It follows a regular fit, which is generally true to size for comfortable layering.
What is the best way to store the waistcoat?
Store it on a padded hanger to maintain the shoulder shape, or folded in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
The zipper is snagging or stiff.
Ensure no fleece fibers are caught in the track and consider using a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
The fleece looks matted or pilled.
Use a fabric shaver or a specialized garment comb to gently remove pills and restore the loft of the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your waistcoat in optimal condition, machine wash it on a gentle, cool cycle to protect the fleece fibers. Always turn the garment inside out before washing to prevent pilling. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the fleece; instead, lay it flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight. When styling, the waistcoat is compatible with most casual attire and fits comfortably under heavier overcoats during extreme winter conditions.
