FAQs
Is the Welham Gilet suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Welham Gilet has a water-repellent coating, which means it will protect you from light drizzle or short bursts of rain. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, you can machine wash the gilet at 30°C. Remember to wash it with similar colours and absolutely do not use bleach or fabric softener.
What kind of insulation is used in the gilet?
The gilet is filled with 100% recycled polyester insulation, providing warmth while also being environmentally conscious.
How does the two-way zip benefit me?
The two-way zip allows you to open the gilet from both the top and the bottom. This is great for ventilation, easy access to pockets underneath, or to allow more leg movement when sitting or walking.
Can I tumble dry the Welham Gilet?
No, do not tumble dry the gilet. It should be drip dried in the shade to maintain its shape and the integrity of its materials and insulation.
What is the outer material made of?
The outer shell of the gilet is made from a blend of 65% Cotton and 35% Nylon.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Welham Gilet provides good warmth for cool to cold conditions. For very cold winter conditions, especially in freezing temperatures, it is best used as a warm layering piece over a substantial sweater or under a waterproof shell for added protection.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm or insulation seems clumpy after washing.
Ensure you followed the care instructions, especially avoiding fabric softener and tumble drying. Clumping can sometimes be gently redistributed by hand after drying. Future washes should strictly adhere to the 'no softener' rule and drip drying.
Water-repellent coating seems less effective.
The water-repellent coating can diminish over time or with improper washing (e.g., using softener). Ensure you are not using fabric softener. If the issue persists, specific reproofing sprays designed for outdoor wear can be applied, but this product is not explicitly designed for such reapplication.
Two-way zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure both sliders are fully aligned at the bottom before attempting to zip up. Gently pull the top slider. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant or a dedicated zip wax can be applied carefully to the teeth, avoiding contact with the fabric.
Gilet appears wrinkled or creased.
Since ironing is not recommended, hang the gilet immediately after washing and ensure it drip dries smoothly. For minor creases, hanging it in a steamy bathroom can help relax the fabric without direct heat.

The Welham Long Gilet requires no specific setup beyond trying it on and adjusting the hood and waist toggles for your preferred fit. It is highly compatible with a range of casual wear, designed to be layered over hoodies, sweaters, or long-sleeved tops. For optimal warmth, pair it with insulated base layers in colder conditions. Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your gilet, follow these specific guidelines: 1. Machine wash at 30°C. 2. Wash with similar colours to prevent colour transfer. 3. Do not use bleach. 4. Do not tumble dry. 5. Do not iron. 6. Do not dry clean. 7. Do not use fabric softener, as this can degrade the water-repellent coating and insulation. 8. Drip dry in the shade to preserve fabric integrity and shape. Proper care ensures the recycled filling remains effective and the water-repellent coating performs as expected.
