Levi's Western Bubble Gilet - Blue - S

The RDS certification ensures that the down used in the garment comes from animals that have been treated ethically, with no live-plucking or force-feeding. It guarantees that animal welfare standards are met throughout the supply chain.

The hem typically has an internal drawstring or toggles. Pulling on these will cinch the hem, and releasing them will loosen it, allowing you to adjust the fit around your waist.

The gilet is designed for warmth and insulation, not for waterproofing. While it may offer some resistance to light moisture, it is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.

For very cold weather, this gilet serves best as a layering piece. It can be worn over warmer layers like sweaters or fleece. For extreme cold, an outer shell layer might be necessary.

The gilet is primarily made of Cotton, with insulation and fleece lining for warmth. Specific material compositions can usually be found on the garment's care label.

To maintain the fleece lining, it's recommended to wash the gilet according to the care label instructions, preferably on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid high heat drying, as this can damage the fleece fibers. Air drying or low tumble drying is best.

Ensure all zippers and buttons are fastened. Check that the adjustable hem is tightened to prevent drafts. Consider wearing additional layers underneath, as this is a mid-layer garment.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or wax can help lubricate the zipper teeth.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry after washing. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help restore some of the fleece's softness. Avoid harsh detergents.
