What is a gilet?
A gilet, which can also be known as a waistcoat, vest, liner or body warmer, is a mid or outer layer designed to bring its wearer extra warmth. Traditionally used in country sports and pursuits. A gilt gives an extra layer of padding and warmth to the body, whilst leaving the arms free of bulk for ease of movement.
Why do I need a gilet?
As well as being a fantastic way to keep warm, a gilet is also a fantastic style choice for many country outfits. For a practical, outdoor outfit you may choose a padded or quilted body warmer to keep you toasty warm – ideal for everything from country walks to horse riding. Or for country sports like shooting or fishing, a tweed waistcoat will give you the perfect look. Or to add a touch of glamour to a country casual outfit, a faux fur gilet will look stunning with a shirt and jodhpur jean ensemble.
