FAQs

What is the primary material of the Hoktown Cropped Gilet?

The gilet is made from 100% polyester, featuring a textured shearling-look fabric.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet offers warmth due to its textured fabric, making it ideal for transitional weather. For very cold conditions, it may be best worn as a layering piece over warmer garments.

How should I determine my size?

The product details indicate that the gilet runs large. It is recommended to consider choosing a size below your usual size. For example, a typical UK 14 might find an XS to fit as expected for a loose style.

What does 'recycled polyester' mean?

Using recycled polyester means the fabric is made from post-consumer or post-industrial plastic waste, which helps conserve resources and reduce waste compared to virgin polyester.

Can I wear this gilet with dresses?

Yes, the short, cropped length and V-neck design make it a versatile layering piece that pairs well with dresses, adding a cozy texture and extra warmth.

Are the side pockets functional?

Yes, the gilet features functional side pockets.

What is the best way to wash this gilet?

Always refer to the care label. Generally, it is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too large

The Hoktown gilet runs large. Consider ordering one size down from your usual size for a more fitted look. If you have already purchased, you can style it for an oversized aesthetic or explore tailoring options.

Fabric appears creased

Gently iron the gilet on a low heat setting, preferably while it is slightly damp. Ensure the iron is not too hot to avoid damaging the polyester fabric.

Pilling or snagging on fabric

As with most textured fabrics, be mindful of abrasive surfaces. If minor snags occur, try to gently pull the fabric back into place. For pilling, a fabric shaver can be used with care.
