FAQs
What size should I order for the Longline Quilted Gilet?
This gilet is described as 'true to size' for a Women's Regular fit. It's recommended to order your usual UK dress size for the best fit.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
The gilet is designed for extra warmth and coverage, making it ideal for transitional seasons like autumn and spring, or milder winter days. For very cold conditions, it's best worn as a layering piece over thicker sweaters or under a heavier coat.
How do I properly wash and care for this gilet?
Machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle with cold water. Do not use bleach. To preserve its shape and quality, it is best to hang dry or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat drying. Refer to the care label inside the garment for any specific instructions.
Does the hood detach from the gilet?
The product description does not indicate that the hood is detachable. It appears to be an integrated feature of the gilet, complete with a drawcord for adjustment.
What is the material composition of the gilet?
The gilet, including the wadding, lining, and outer fabric, is made from 100% Polyester, ensuring durability and ease of care.
Can I wear this gilet for smart-casual or more formal occasions?
This gilet is primarily designed for casual to smart-casual wear, offering a fashionable yet comfortable option for everyday outings. Its style may not be suitable for formal events.
Is the animal print exactly as shown in images?
While product images aim for accuracy, minor variations in print appearance can occur due to lighting and individual screen settings. The core design and color family (Grey Animal Print) will be consistent.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too bulky when layered with other clothing.
Consider wearing thinner base layers or tops when layering with the gilet. Opt for fitted jumpers or long-sleeved tops instead of overly bulky knitwear.
The double-ended zip feels stiff or gets stuck occasionally.
Gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth of the zipper to lubricate it. Ensure that no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism when zipping up or down.
The gilet seems to have lost some of its shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding washing cycle (gentle, cold) and drying method (hang dry or lay flat). High heat or aggressive washing can impact the polyester wadding and outer shape.
Animal print appearance differs slightly from expectations.
Variations in lighting can affect how the print appears. Compare the gilet in different lighting conditions. If you believe there's a significant discrepancy, review product images online.
Pockets feel too shallow or items might fall out.
The front pockets are secured with zips, so ensure they are fully closed after placing items inside. Avoid overloading the pockets with large or heavy items to maintain the gilet's silhouette and ensure security.
