FAQs

What material is the Hoktown Gilet made from?

The Hoktown Gilet is made from a tactile wool blend, with the outer fabric being 100% polyester, of which at least 50% is recycled polyester.

Is this gilet warm enough for winter?

The gilet is lightweight and insulating, designed primarily for transitional months like autumn and spring. It provides warmth when layered but is not intended as heavy winter outerwear.

How should I wash the gilet?

Always refer to the care instructions on the product label. Typically, gentle hand washing in cool water is recommended for wool blends to maintain fabric integrity.

Does the gilet come in other colors?

Yes, the Hoktown Gilet is available in different colors. Please check the product listings for available color options and sizes.

What is the fit like?

The gilet has a regular fit and a short length.

Can I wear this gilet over a thick sweater?

While it can be layered over thinner sweaters, a very thick sweater might make the regular fit feel snug. It is best suited for layering over thinner to medium-weight knitwear.

Troubleshooting

Gilet appears misshapen after washing

Ensure the gilet was laid flat to dry completely. Reshape gently while damp if necessary. Avoid tumble drying.

Fabric feels stiff

Check care label for specific washing instructions. A gentle hand wash with a wool-specific detergent may soften the fabric.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Minor pilling can occur with textured fabrics. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills, or carefully trim with small scissors.

Compatibility: This gilet is designed to be layered over various tops, including t-shirts, blouses, and sweaters. It is suitable for adult women and pairs well with casual or smart-casual bottoms.

Care: Please refer to the care instructions on the product label for detailed guidance. Generally, garments made from wool blends and recycled polyester benefit from gentle care.
