FAQs

What season is the Longline Hooded Gilet most suitable for?

This gilet is ideal for transitional seasons, particularly Autumn and Winter, providing just the right amount of warmth for unpredictable weather and effective layering.

Is the gilet true to size?

Yes, the gilet is designed for a Women's Regular fit and is generally true to size. It's recommended to choose your usual dress size for the best fit.

What is the length of this gilet?

The length of this comfy gilet is approximately 90cm, offering a stylish longline silhouette.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is constructed from 100% Polyester for the outer fabric, padding, and lining, ensuring lightweight warmth and durability.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the gilet features practical zipped pockets, providing secure storage for your everyday essentials and peace of mind.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

While it offers warmth, it is best suited for transitional weather and layering in cooler conditions. For extremely cold temperatures, you might need additional heavy outer layers.

How should I style this gilet for an everyday look?

For a trendy everyday style, pair it with relaxed denim and your favorite knitwear, completing the look with either boots or trainers. It's versatile enough for various casual outings.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too bulky when layered with other clothing.

Adjust your underlayers. Opt for thinner, streamlined knitwear or base layers to maintain comfort and prevent a bulky feel. Ensure your sizing is correct as the gilet is true to size.

Hood drawstring feels loose or doesn't stay cinched.

Re-tie the knot at the end of the drawstring more securely or adjust the plastic/metal toggles (if present) to hold the cord firmly in place. Ensure the cord isn't tangled within the hood channel.

Zipper on pockets or front closure is sticking or catching.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth to ensure no material is caught. If it continues to stick, try rubbing a pencil lead or a tiny amount of lubricant (like zipper wax) along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Gilet appears flattened or less puffy after washing.

If machine washing, ensure you use a gentle cycle and low heat for tumble drying. Adding dryer balls to the dryer can help fluff up the padding. For best results, air dry flat and gently 'fluff' the padding by hand.
