Troubleshooting
Zip appears to be sticking
Check for fabric caught in the teeth of the zipper and gently remove it. If the slider is stiff, use a small amount of clear candle wax on the teeth.
Fleece appears flattened after washing
Once dry, gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the pile and restore the original loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Stenton Fleece Gilet requires minimal setup; simply ensure the size selection accommodates the intended layering underneath. For care, the garment is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to zip all pockets closed before placing in the machine to prevent damage to the antique brass components. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners that may compromise the integrity of the synthetic pile or the faux nubuck trim. Air drying is preferred to maintain the loft of the fleece, though the material is designed for longevity and frequent use.
