Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Shires Gilet is a versatile, mid-layer garment specifically designed for adult women who need warmth and mobility during outdoor activities like countryside walks and gardening. Its primary strength lies in the chevron quilted construction and stretch side panels, which provide an excellent balance of insulation and flexibility, though its fitted silhouette may feel too snug for those preferring loose-fitting outer layers.

FAQs
Is the Jack Pyke Shires Gilet waterproof?
No, it is primarily designed for warmth and insulation, not as a waterproof garment.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it is perfectly suited for use as a standalone outer layer in dry, cool conditions.
How should I wash this gilet?
Follow the instructions on the internal label, typically a gentle machine wash in cold water is recommended.
Does it have internal pockets?
No, this model features two external zipped pockets for storage.
Is the sizing true to size?
The gilet features a fitted silhouette, so if you prefer a looser fit for layering, you may want to choose a larger size.
Is the collar adjustable?
The collar is a high, fixed-padded style designed to sit comfortably against the neck.
Troubleshooting
The two-way zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Ensure the zip is fully aligned at the base. You can apply a small amount of clear candle wax or specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve smoothness.
The gilet feels slightly tight across the chest.
The Shires Gilet is designed as a fitted layer; if you require more room for thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Gilet, always consult the internal care label before washing. Generally, nylon garments should be washed on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that may degrade the synthetic fibers or affect the zipper integrity. For best storage, hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, rather than folding it for long periods which can compress the quilting padding.
