Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Gilet is designed for men seeking a reliable, lightweight layering piece that provides core warmth without restricting movement. Crafted from soft, durable microfleece with practical poplin overlays, this gilet is an excellent choice for casual weekend walks, outdoor errands, or layering during a chilly daily commute. While it excels at providing essential insulation, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions rather than extreme winter temperatures.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is made of polyester microfleece which provides warmth but is not waterproof.
Does the gilet run true to size?
Yes, Regatta sizing is standard, though if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer to size up.
What is the primary material?
The garment is constructed from polyester microfleece with durable poplin overlays.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
Yes, the chest and lower zippered pockets are designed to securely hold most standard-sized smartphones.
Can I wear this in the summer?
It is best suited for cooler weather; it may be too warm for summer, but it is excellent for cool summer evenings.
How do I ensure the fit is correct?
The stretch binding on the armholes and hem is designed to keep the garment close to the body without feeling restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently pull it free. You can use a graphite pencil on the teeth to lubricate the track.
Fleece pilling after washing
Turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce surface friction. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any pills that have already formed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Frankie Gilet; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure your gilet maintains its performance and appearance over time, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the fleece.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric structure and elasticity of the stretch binding. Do not tumble dry on high heat.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to prevent wrinkles and maintain the shape of the poplin overlays.
- Compatibility: It pairs seamlessly with technical base layers, cotton t-shirts, or flannel shirts. When used as a mid-layer, ensure your outer shell is not so tight that it bunches the fleece.
