Gilet Men – Sleeveless Tweed Waistcoat with V-Neck and 5 Buttons

THE GILET THAT FINISHES OFF A SHIRT INSTANTLY

This gilet for men is the quickest way to turn an ordinary shirt into a finished look. It fastens with five buttons in a single row, sits close over the chest and tapers below the waist into two points, which makes your upper body look longer. The deep V-neck leaves the collar of your shirt completely free, so the collar and top button stay visible.

The fabric has the herringbone pattern you know from tweed: two colours of yarn woven together at an angle. Up close you can see the fine V shapes in the weave, while from a distance the colour looks even and mottled. That makes this tweed gilet calmer than a checked style, and it's just as easy to wear with jeans as with smart trousers. The dark, horn-look buttons stand out slightly against every colourway.

Features

• Sleeveless style – made to wear over a shirt, polo shirt or thin jumper.
• Five buttons in a single row – single-breasted, so without the overlap of a double-breasted gilet.
• Deep V-neck without a collar – leaves the collar and top button of your shirt free.
• Herringbone pattern – woven tweed look with a fine, mottled texture.
• Four piped pockets – two at chest height and two below the waist.
• Points at the hem – the front panels taper into two points that fall just below your belt.
• Seven colours – light blue, black, green, grey, blue, red and brown.
• Size XS to 3XL – chest width and length per size are in the size chart.

How to wear it

The easiest combination is exactly the one in the photos: an ecru or white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, dark jeans and a leather belt. The gilet then does the job of a blazer without making you too warm, which is handy for a summer wedding, drinks or dinner. It looks smarter with trousers in the same tone as the gilet, smart shoes and a tie or bow tie. Casually, wear it open over a T-shirt. Because the style ends at the waist instead of falling over your hips, the proportions stay right, even worn loose.

Colours

The gilet comes in seven colourways, all with the same herringbone weave and the same dark buttons. Grey, black and light blue are the safest choices with blue or black trousers. Note that black here is a black-and-white herringbone, so up close it looks more dark grey than deep black. Brown and green are the classic tweed colours for autumn and work well with beige, olive and denim. Blue is the most saturated of the seven, and red leans towards burgundy rather than bright red.

Size and fit

Sizes range from XS with a chest width of 98 cm to 3XL with 140 cm, and the length goes from 65 cm at XS to 75 cm at 3XL. You'll find the full table per size with this product. To be sure, measure a gilet or blazer you already wear and compare that size with the table, which works more accurately than going by your usual size alone. Also keep in mind that a shirt needs to fit underneath.

Care

Hang the gilet on a wide hanger after wearing it, and most creases will drop out on their own. Wrinkles are best removed with steam held a little away from the fabric. Don't put a hot iron directly on the fabric, as herringbone can go shiny. Follow the label inside the garment before washing. If you wear it over a shirt often, the gilet stays looking its best if you have it dry-cleaned occasionally instead of putting it in the machine every time.
