Product Information
Full details
The Threadbare Quilted Hybrid Gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, lightweight layering piece for cooler weather. Its key benefit lies in its hybrid construction, offering warmth from a padded front and comfort from a soft fleece backing, while maintaining a stylish appearance. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very tailored silhouette. This gilet features a ribbed collar and hem for a neat finish, a full zip with a storm guard for protection against the elements, and multiple pockets for practical storage.

What are the washing instructions?

Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Check the sizing guide before purchase. If the fit is not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size. The regular fit is designed for comfortable layering, not a skin-tight feel.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant applied to the zipper teeth may help.
Pilling or wear on the fleece backing
This can occur with regular use and washing. Follow care instructions carefully, avoid harsh detergents, and consider washing inside out to minimize abrasion. Gentle fabric shavers can be used to remove pills.
