Product Information
Full details
The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is an excellent layering piece for ladies seeking warmth and customizable style on cooler days. While it excels as a versatile addition to your wardrobe, it's designed for layering rather than as a primary solution for extreme cold. Featuring a padded body, soft faux fur lining, and a unique double full zip, it offers both comfort and a fashionable look with its recycled polyester blend.

FAQs
Is the hood removable on this gilet?
No, the hood itself is not removable. However, the faux fur trim on the hood can be detached, allowing you to customize the gilet's appearance.
What is the material composition of the gilet?
The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is made from a blend of 55% Recycled Polyester and 45% Polyester.
How do I properly wash my gilet?
The gilet is machine washable. For best results and to preserve the faux fur, always check the specific care label inside your garment for temperature and cycle recommendations. Typically, a gentle cycle with mild detergent is advised.
Does this gilet have pockets?
The product description does not specify the inclusion of pockets on this particular gilet.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?
While the gilet provides warmth and is excellent for cooler days and layering, it is not designed as a standalone garment for extremely cold winter conditions. For very low temperatures, it should be worn as an insulating layer under a heavy winter coat.
What is the benefit of the double full zip?
The double full zip allows for greater flexibility. You can zip it up fully for maximum warmth, or partially unzip from the bottom for increased ventilation, comfort while sitting, or to adjust your style.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected
Ensure the gilet is fully zipped, especially the inner zip, for maximum insulation. Consider layering it over a thicker sweater or thermal top, as it is designed as a layering piece rather than a heavy winter coat.
Faux fur trim appears matted or flat after washing
After washing (preferably on a gentle cycle or hand wash), allow the faux fur trim to air dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the fur with a soft brush or your fingers to restore its fluffiness and texture. Avoid high heat during drying.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move
Check if any fabric or lining is caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This section guides you through the simple care instructions for your SoulCal 2Zip Gilet to ensure its longevity and maintain its appearance.
Setup
As a piece of clothing, there is no specific 'setup' required. Simply remove it from its packaging and it's ready to wear.
Compatibility
The gilet's design makes it highly compatible with a variety of clothing items and styles:
- Layering: Excellent for layering over knitwear, long-sleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts, and thinner jackets.
- Bottoms: Pairs well with jeans, leggings, and casual trousers.
- Footwear: Complements casual boots, trainers, and everyday shoes.
Care Instructions
To keep your gilet in optimal condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: The gilet is machine washable. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings and cycles.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and faux fur.
- Faux Fur Trim: If the faux fur hood trim is removed for washing, consider hand washing it gently or placing it in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle to protect its texture.
- Drying: It is generally recommended to air dry polyester garments to prevent shrinking and maintain fabric integrity. Tumble drying on a low heat setting may be acceptable, but always check the care label.
- Ironing: Ironing is typically not required for polyester gilets. If necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the padded material and faux fur.
- Storage: Store the gilet on a hanger or neatly folded to maintain its shape.
