FAQs
Is the Roman Patent Hooded Gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet features a 'showerproof hood' which means it offers protection against light rain or drizzles. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
How should I clean my gilet?
It is recommended to machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle with cold water. Do not use bleach. Air dry by hanging; avoid tumble drying on high heat to protect the hi-shine finish and padding.
What is the material of the gilet?
The outer shell is 100% Polyamide, and the wadding and lining are both 100% Polyester.
What size should I purchase?
The gilet is described as 'Womens regular fit, true to size'. We recommend consulting Roman's official size chart to determine your best fit, considering your typical UK dress size.
Can I wear this gilet in winter?
While it provides warmth with its padded design, it is best suited for transitional seasons like autumn. For colder winter conditions, it can be worn as a warm mid-layer under a heavier winter coat.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Yes, it is equipped with convenient zipped side pockets to securely store your essentials.
Is the hood removable?
The product description mentions a 'showerproof hood' but does not specify if it is removable. Based on the information provided, assume the hood is attached and not detachable.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on Roman's size guide, as it's described as 'true to size'. If between sizes, consider your layering preferences.
The hi-shine finish appears dull or scuffed.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, which can damage the glossy finish. Store carefully to prevent rubbing against rough surfaces.
The zip fastening gets stuck or snags.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently pull it free. Periodically, you can rub a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the teeth to ensure smooth operation.
Pockets don't seem to hold items securely.
Ensure the zipped side pockets are fully closed after placing items inside. The zips are designed for security, so confirm they are completely engaged.
Gilet doesn't provide enough warmth in colder conditions.
This gilet is primarily for transitional seasons and light layering. For colder weather, layer it over thicker sweaters or wear it as a mid-layer under a heavy coat. It is not designed for extreme cold as a standalone outer garment.

Compatibility
This gilet is designed for a Womens regular fit and is generally considered true to size. It is best worn as an outer layer over lighter garments such as long-sleeved tops, thin sweaters, or lightweight jumpers. It pairs particularly well with casual bottom wear like jeans or relaxed trousers. Consult Roman's standard size guide to ensure the best fit for your body type.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the unique 'hi-shine' finish and integrity of the gilet.
- Material Composition: The outer shell is `100% Polyamide`, with `100% Polyester` wadding and lining.
- Washing: It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry at high heat. Preferably, air dry by hanging the gilet. If using a dryer, select a low heat or air-only setting.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the hi-shine polyamide finish and the polyester wadding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and finish. Avoid compressing the gilet for extended periods to maintain its padded silhouette.
