Does the neck zip up high enough to block the wind?
Yes, the gilet features a funnel neck that is designed to stay upright and shield the neck area from wind chill.

Troubleshooting
Zip feels stuck or difficult to slide
Check for fabric caught in the teeth of the zipper and gently pull the fabric away while easing the zipper back.
Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes
Ensure you are using a minimal amount of detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which leave a waxy residue on fleece.
Visible dirt marks on the light cream fabric
Pre-treat spots with a gentle stain remover suitable for fleece and spot clean immediately before the stain sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Joules Tilly Gilet, always refer to the garment's internal care label. Generally, wash the fleece on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can mat the fleece fibers, reducing their insulating properties over time. To maintain the appearance of the cream-coloured fabric, wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer. Hang to air dry rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the synthetic fibers. The gilet is highly compatible with most casual wardrobes, layering effortlessly over cotton tops, long-sleeve shirts, and school uniforms.
