FAQs
What material is the Roman Originals Longline Hooded Gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed from 100% Polyester for the main fabric, wadding, and lining, ensuring warmth and durability.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
Yes, with appropriate layering, this gilet can provide significant warmth. Its polyester wadding and longline design make it ideal for cold weather when worn over knitwear or other warm garments.
How should I wash this camouflage gilet?
It is recommended to machine wash this gilet at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching, ironing, or tumble drying on high heat to preserve the material's integrity. Air drying is best.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Yes, it features functional zip pockets, perfect for securely storing small essential items like keys or a phone.
Is the hood removable?
The product description indicates a hood with a drawcord fastening, which implies the hood is integrated and not removable.
What kind of fit does this gilet offer?
This gilet offers a 'Regular fit' and is designed to be 'True to size', with a shaped waist for a flattering silhouette.
Can I wear this gilet indoors?
While primarily designed for outdoor wear to provide warmth, you can wear it indoors if you feel cold, especially in draughty environments or if you prefer an extra layer.
Is the camouflage print exactly as depicted in images?
While every effort is made to show the print accurately, slight variations in pattern placement or colour tones may occur due to manufacturing processes and screen differences. The overall camouflage aesthetic will be consistent.
Troubleshooting
The gilet feels too tight or too loose.
This gilet is designed for a 'Regular fit' and to be 'True to size'. If the fit isn't right, double-check your measurements against standard sizing guides or consider exchanging for a different size if available. Remember it's designed to be layered, so allow for some room for undergarments.
The zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a pencil lead rubbed on the teeth) to help it slide more smoothly. Operate the zipper gently to avoid damage.
The gilet doesn't seem warm enough.
This gilet is an excellent layering piece. For maximum warmth, ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath, such as thermal tops or thick knitwear. The gilet acts as an insulating outer layer.
The hood drawcord is difficult to adjust.
Gently pull both ends of the drawcord simultaneously. If it's still stiff, carefully work the cord through its channel to loosen any bunched fabric.

Care
