FAQs
What activities is the TOG24 Welham Gilet best suited for?
This gilet is ideal for casual outdoor activities on chilly days, such as dog walking, nature strolls, running errands, or simply enjoying the outdoors in comfort.
Is the gilet fully waterproof?
No, the TOG24 Welham Gilet features a water-repellent coating designed to protect against light drizzle and minor moisture, but it is not fully waterproof and would not suffice in heavy rain.
How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?
The gilet includes toggle adjusters on the waist, allowing you to pull the elastic cords to create a more cinched-in, flattering fit or loosen it for a relaxed feel. The hood also has toggle adjusters for a secure fit.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?
The Welham Gilet is designed for chilly days. For very cold winter weather, it's recommended to layer it over a substantial warm jumper, fleece, or hoodie for adequate insulation.
What materials are used in the TOG24 Welham Gilet?
The gilet's outer is made from 65% Cotton and 35% Nylon. The lining and the chunky quilted insulation fill are both 100% Polyester, with the fill being from recycled materials.
How should I clean my Welham Gilet?
Specific care instructions are usually found on the garment's label. Generally, for its material composition, a gentle machine wash and air drying or low tumble dry are recommended to maintain its quality and water repellency. Always refer to the internal care label for precise guidance.
What is the benefit of the two-way zip?
The two-way zip offers enhanced versatility. You can open it from the bottom to allow for greater freedom of movement when sitting or bending, to provide ventilation, or simply for styling purposes.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too loose or too tight around the waist.
Locate the toggle adjusters on the waist. Pull the elastic cords to tighten the fit for more warmth or a 'cinched-in' look, or release them to loosen for a more relaxed feel.
Not feeling warm enough on a chilly day.
Ensure the two-way zip is fully closed to trap warmth. Adjust the hood toggles for a snug fit around your head and neck. Consider layering the gilet over a warmer jumper or hoodie for increased insulation.
Water is no longer beading off the surface during light rain.
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Clean the gilet according to its care instructions, then re-apply a fabric waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor garments. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Gently pull any fabric away from the zipper teeth. Ensure the zipper pull is aligned straight before trying to zip. Occasionally, applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a specialized wax) can improve smooth operation.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the quality and longevity of your Welham Gilet. The outer fabric is 65% Cotton, 35% Nylon, with a 100% Polyester lining and fill.
- Washing: Generally, most garments of this material blend benefit from a gentle machine wash. Check the care label for specific temperature recommendations.
> Info needed: Specific washing temperature and cycle for the TOG24 Welham Gilet.
- Drying: Tumble drying on a low setting or air drying flat is typically recommended to preserve the padding and water-repellent coating. Avoid high heat.

- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area, preferably hanging to maintain its shape and loft.
