FAQs
What season is this gilet most suitable for?
This gilet is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, offering comfortable warmth during unpredictable weather without being overly heavy.
Is the hood removable?
The product description does not specify that the hood is removable. It appears to be an integrated feature designed to offer practical protection.
How do I determine my size?
The gilet is described as 'Womens Regular fit' and 'True to size'. We recommend purchasing your usual dress size for the best fit.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from 100% Polyester and is suitable for 'unpredictable weather.' While polyester offers some inherent water resistance, it is not explicitly stated to be waterproof like a dedicated rain jacket.
Can I wear this gilet in winter?
Yes, but as a layering piece. Its padded construction provides extra warmth, making it suitable over thick knitwear for milder winter days or inside a heavier coat for very cold conditions.
What kind of outfits can I wear with this gilet?
It is highly versatile. The description suggests pairing it with relaxed denim and knitwear, and completing the look with either boots or trainers for a trendy everyday style.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too bulky or restricts movement.
Ensure you have selected the correct size, as the gilet is described as 'true to size'. When layering, opt for thinner knitwear or tops underneath to maintain comfort and mobility.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth and carefully pull it free. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can also help lubricate a stubborn zip.
Gilet feels cold despite being padded.
While padded for warmth, this is a sleeveless gilet. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate long-sleeved base layers and knitwear underneath to maximize warmth.
Chevron print appears dull or faded after washing.
Always wash the gilet inside out to protect the print. Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid overloading the washing machine. Air drying can also help preserve colours more than tumble drying.

Care
Your gilet is made from 100% Polyester for the wadding, lining, and main fabric. To ensure longevity and maintain its quality, follow these general care guidelines (always check the garment's specific care label for detailed instructions):
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle, ideally with cold or lukewarm water to protect the fabric and padding.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat to maintain the gilet's shape and padding loft. Avoid high heat.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach, as this can damage the polyester fibres and fade the print.
- Ironing: Ironing is generally not necessary. If creasing occurs, use a very low heat setting and iron inside out, or use a steamer.
