FAQs
Is this gilet machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle, cool cycle. We recommend air drying to preserve the material.
Does it have a hood?
No, this design features a funnel neck, which offers warmth and comfort without the added bulk of a hood.
Is the material water-resistant?
The gilet is made of soft fleece and is not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.
What is the sizing for the 7-8 years model?
The 7-8 years size is specifically tailored to fit the average child in that age range, allowing room for comfortable layering underneath.
Can this be worn as a winter coat?
It serves best as a layering piece. In very cold temperatures, we recommend wearing it under a larger coat for added insulation.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check the track for stray threads or fabric snags, and gently run a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Pilling or fuzz on the fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated lint remover to gently lift the fibers and restore the smooth appearance of the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the fleece, machine wash it on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, which can compromise the softness of the fabric. Always zip the gilet closed before washing to protect the teeth of the zipper. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinking and pilling. The gilet is highly compatible with long-sleeve base layers, sweaters, or thermal tops, making it a versatile staple in a child's wardrobe.
