FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The gilet provides good insulation for its weight, making it excellent for layering. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a warmer outer jacket.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The product information states it 'fits true to size'. We recommend consulting a size chart or trying it on if possible. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, which might suggest sizing up.
Can I wash this gilet in a washing machine?
No, this gilet requires delicate dry cleaning only. Washing, bleaching, or tumble drying can damage the fabric and down fill.
What does 'channel quilted' mean?
Channel quilting refers to the stitching pattern that creates horizontal channels to hold the down and feather insulation in place, ensuring it remains evenly distributed and prevents cold spots.
Is the gilet suitable for men of all ages?
The product is categorized for adult men. Its classic design and functional features make it suitable for a wide range of adult users.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining of the gilet is made from 100% Polyamide.
Can the throat latch be removed?
The throat latch is an integrated feature of the gilet and is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected
Ensure the down filling is evenly distributed by gently shaking the gilet. If it has been compressed for a long time, allow it to air out and regain loft.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if necessary. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the gilet on a padded hanger and allow it to air for a few hours. If creases persist, use a cool iron on the fabric, avoiding direct heat on any labels or trims.
