Troubleshooting
Visible dust or debris on the sueded trim

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this gilet is a garment, there is no technical setup required. To maintain the integrity of the quilted material and sueded binding, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional dry cleaner, specifically referencing the leather and sueded trim components.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the quilting and the collar.
- Compatibility: The Basswood Gilet is designed to be worn over light base layers. If you intend to wear it under another jacket, choose a coat with a slightly looser fit to avoid compression of the quilt padding.
