Do any of you wear a gilet?
A waistcoat made from wool or animal hide?
I was thinking of getting a lambskin gilet, with sheepskin on the inside and a leather/suede outer.
I have a couple of Filson. Fantastic, 24oz wool, i often wear them under my shirt/sweater. They look smart when worn on top.
Would love a sheepskin gilet, but will wait untill summer, because they aint cheap.
That is very nice. Im sure you will be impressed. They add, serious warmth without affecting your maneuverability.
I seen a lovely, very thick gilet, in Betws y coed, not long ago.. Definitely on my wish list
I reckon I'll feel a bit too eccentric in mine, having said that, will match my brown felt akubra cattleman hat, and aid my manoeuvrability when fly fishing. Can get cold standing in a river.
You could also have a look at Giesswein, they are made of "walk" a kind of boiled wool. This wool is softer than filson wool, the weight is quite the same.
I have a couple which I use regularly but they are from man made materials which are windproof and water resistant. Ideal for trekking and hillwalking when a full jacket would be too hot. I do fancy a nice posh one for posing about in the woods though!
