Mens Gilets

The word gilet, derives from the Spanish 'Jileco' or 'Chaleco'-  a sleeveless jacket, much like a waistcoat or vest that forms part of traditional Spanish clothing.

While similar in function and style, the main difference between a gilet and bodywarmers is the weight of the garment. Gilets are usually more lightweight in design and can be used as a mid-layer, or worn though warmer seasons. Body warmers tend to be bulkier and are more often used as outer layers.

Gilets are hugely versatile and appropriate at many times and places. Dubarry has a wide range of gilets which are suitable anywhere from the shooting field to sofa, stable to greenhouse, work desk to the gym.
