FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
This gilet provides extra warmth for colder seasons, thanks to its quilted design and duvet hood. For extremely cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it with additional heavy clothing or a more substantial outer coat for optimal warmth.
What kind of fit does the gilet have?
The gilet features a regular fit and is designed to be true to size. This allows for comfortable layering over various garments without feeling too restrictive or too baggy.
How should I wash this gilet?
As the gilet is 100% polyester, it is generally machine washable. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for precise instructions. Typically, a cool wash on a gentle cycle and air drying or low tumble drying is recommended.
Can I wear this gilet with formal attire?
This gilet is designed for a cosy fall look and is best suited for casual or smart-casual outfits. It pairs well with knits, denim jeans, and ankle boots, rather than formal wear.
Does the hood offer good coverage and warmth?
Yes, the 'duvet hood' is specifically designed to offer significant extra warmth and comfort, providing ample coverage for your head and neck during colder weather.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is made from 100% polyester for its wadding, lining, and main fabric, ensuring warmth, durability, and relatively easy care.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose.
The gilet is designed with a regular fit and is true to size. If it feels uncomfortable, double-check your chosen size against standard sizing charts. Consider trying an alternate size for optimal layering comfort.
Concealed zip or poppers are stiff or difficult to close.
Gently operate the zip and poppers a few times to loosen them. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism. For zips, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate stubborn teeth. Do not force the fastenings.
Gilet appears wrinkled after storage or washing.
Hang the gilet in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes to allow wrinkles to relax. Alternatively, use a handheld fabric steamer on a low setting. Avoid direct application of high heat from an iron, as this can damage polyester. If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and place a thin cloth between the iron and the gilet.
Quilting appears flattened.
After washing, gently reshape the gilet and fluff the quilted areas while it is still damp. Air dry flat to help restore the loft of the polyester wadding. Avoid harsh wringing or tumbling on high heat, which can compress the quilting.

Compatibility
The gilet's versatile design makes it compatible with a range of wardrobe items:
- Tops: Excellent over knitwear, long-sleeved tops, turtlenecks, or even light sweaters.
- Bottoms: Pairs perfectly with denim jeans, smart trousers, or casual skirts.
- Footwear: Complement with ankle boots, knee-high boots, or smart casual trainers for a complete look.
Care
Given its 100% polyester composition, this gilet is designed for straightforward care to maintain its quality and appearance:
- Washing: Always check the garment's internal care label first. Typically, polyester garments can be machine washed on a cool (30°C or 40°C) gentle cycle with similar colours.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: It's best to air dry the gilet flat or hang it to retain its shape and quilting. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage or damage to the synthetic fibres.
- Ironing: Polyester rarely requires ironing. If needed, use a very low heat setting and preferably iron inside out or with a pressing cloth to avoid damaging the fabric.
