FAQs
Is the TOG24 Welham Gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet features a water-repellent coating which offers protection against light drizzle and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy rain.
What is the filling made of?
The gilet's chunky quilted insulation is made from 100% recycled polyester, providing warmth while being environmentally conscious.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Please refer to the care label inside your gilet for specific washing instructions. Given the material composition (Cotton/Nylon outer, Polyester lining/fill), a gentle machine wash is typically recommended.
How do the waist adjusters work?
The waist adjusters are toggles that allow you to draw in the waist of the gilet. This helps to create a more cinched-in, flattering fit and can also provide extra warmth by reducing air circulation.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Welham Gilet is designed for chilly days and offers significant warmth. For very cold winter conditions, especially due to its sleeveless design, it is recommended to layer it with appropriate thermal tops or thick jumpers.
What size is this specific gilet?
This particular gilet is a UK Size 18.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels bulky or less flattering than expected.
Utilize the waist toggle adjusters to cinch in the gilet, creating a more fitted and flattering silhouette. Ensure you've layered appropriately underneath without excessive bulk.
Gilet doesn't feel warm enough in chilly conditions.
Ensure the two-way zip is fully closed to trap heat effectively. Consider adding a thicker base layer or a warmer jumper underneath, as gilets leave arms exposed.
Water repellency seems to be less effective over time.
The water-repellent coating can wear down with use and washing. Refer to the care label for washing instructions, and consider using a fabric-specific re-proofing spray designed for water-repellent garments after cleaning.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you operate it. Ensure the zipper is aligned correctly at the bottom before zipping up. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can help if it's consistently stiff.

Care
The Welham Gilet is constructed from an outer blend of 65% Cotton and 35% Nylon, with a 100% Polyester lining and fill. To maintain its quality and performance:
- Washing: Refer to the garment's specific care label for detailed washing instructions. Generally, cotton/nylon blends and polyester insulation benefit from gentle machine washing with similar colours.
- Drying: Avoid high heat drying, which can damage synthetic insulation and outer fabrics. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is usually recommended.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent coating may diminish. If needed, a specialized fabric protector spray can be applied after washing, following the product's instructions.
