FAQs
Is the hood fully removable?
The hood is designed to be concealed within the collar area, allowing for a seamless transition between a hooded and non-hooded look.
Does the water-repellent finish need to be reapplied?
Over time, the water-repellent coating may fade. You can apply a professional-grade spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when water stops beading on the surface.
What does the garment-dyed finish mean?
Garment dyeing means the item is sewn in its raw form and then dyed, which results in unique color variations and a soft, lived-in feel.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
While the tag may allow gentle cycles, professional cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the down fill and the crinkled nylon finish.
Does it fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed for a standard adult fit; the XL size follows typical sizing standards for a regular silhouette.
Troubleshooting
The two-way zipper is sticking.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the teeth and try rubbing the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a dedicated silicone zipper lubricant.
The down insulation appears thin or clumped.
Gently shake and fluff the gilet manually to redistribute the down; if washed, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to regain loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for standard adult fits; the XL size provides ample room for layering over thick knitwear or sweatshirts. To care for the item, it is recommended to follow the care label inside the garment strictly. Because the item contains down insulation, professional dry cleaning is often the safest route. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemicals on the garment-dyed surface, as this may alter the specific crinkled texture or color consistency. Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the loft of the down.
