Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be worn over shirts, base layers, or light sweaters. To maintain the life of the garment, wash it on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Avoid using strong bleaches or harsh fabric softeners, as these can affect the integrity of the polyester fibres and the faux nubuck trim. Air-drying is recommended to preserve the shape and prevent shrinking. If the gilet becomes heavily soiled, ensure all zippers are closed before placing it in the washing machine to protect the antique brass pulls.
