All about this garment

The quilted sleeveless bodywarmer is light, warm and water-repellent: outer and lining in 280T recycled polyester taffeta, polyester padding. Stand-up collar, tone-on-tone zip, two zipped pockets, elasticated binding at the hem and armholes. It carries the GRS and PETA Approved Vegan labels and comes in eleven colours, from ecru to forest green, in sizes S to 3XL.

Who is it for? Teams who work outdoors (building sites, markets, deliveries, green spaces), sales reps and trade-show teams, clubs and event staff. Worn over a polo or sweatshirt with your logo, it completes a team outfit for the in-between seasons.

Personalisation: a left-chest logo and a large design on the back, printed with low-temperature DTF printing, suited to polyester taffeta. For a team order, one line per person with their size, or a quote for larger volumes.

Size: straight cut; if you wear it over a thick sweatshirt, go up a size. The size guide on the product page gives the manufacturer's measurements.

Lead time: ordered on demand from our supplier; allow 3 to 4 working days on top of our usual shipping lead time (1 to 3 working days).

280T taffeta, light and water-repellent

The 280T figure indicates a very tight weave: the surface is smooth, cuts the wind and makes light rain bead off. The polyester padding keeps its warmth even when damp, and the bodywarmer packs down easily into a bag. It is not a waterproof garment: in heavy rain, wear a jacket over it.

Why low-temperature printing?

Polyester taffeta cannot withstand the heat of conventional pressing. We use a DTF transfer applied at a lower temperature, to mark the bodywarmer without damaging the fabric or flattening the padding. The left-chest logo and the large back design stay soft.

Delivery

Ordered on demand: allow 3 to 4 working days more. Delivery to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and across the European Union; a quote is available for a team.

Is the puffer vest rain-resistant?

It is water-repellent: it protects against light rain, but is not waterproof.

Where should I place the logo?

On the left chest and/or large on the back.

What is the lead time for this model?

This model is made to order by our supplier: allow 3 to 4 working days on top of our usual lead times. For a specific date, state it in a quote request.

Can I wear it over a sweatshirt?

Yes, that is its most common use. If the sweatshirt is thick, go one size up from your usual size.

How do I wash a custom sleeveless puffer vest?

In the machine at 30 °C, zip closed and inside out, on a delicate cycle, then air dry. Avoid ironing and high-heat tumble drying, which damage the padding and the print.

What are the printing and delivery times?

Once your design is approved and your order is paid, we start printing and your order ships within 1 to 3 working days (subject to stock). It is sent by Colissimo, or you can collect it free of charge at the workshop (5 rue Planchat, Paris 20e).

For delivery: ships within 1 to 3 working days, then 1 to 4 days in transit. You will get an email at each stage of your parcel's journey.

How does express ordering work?

In a hurry? With express, orders placed before 4 pm on a working day are shipped the same day. You can also collect from the workshop or receive it by Colissimo express (€18).

This option carries a surcharge.

How do returns work?

It all depends on the reason for the return.

If you simply change your mind about the design, we cannot take the item back: it was personalised to your instructions (article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code).

If the item is faulty (print, condition of the product…), we send you a 100% free return label. Simply send the order back to us and, as you prefer, we will refund you or send a correct replacement.
