Soft Sherpa Double-Knit Fabric
The cosy Sherpa double-knit fabric provides plush warmth and a luxuriously soft texture.
Its sleeveless construction keeps the body comfortably covered while leaving the arms unrestricted, making it particularly useful during active days or when worn beneath a jacket.
Flattering Close Fit
The Laviolette fits close through the body for a neat and flattering silhouette.
Its construction still provides room to move, allowing it to be worn for relaxed riding, yard duties, countryside outings or casual everyday activities.
Full-Length Front Zip
A full-length front zip makes the gilet easy to put on and remove.
It can be fastened completely when additional warmth is required or left partially open to help regulate temperature.
Secure Zipped Pockets
Two zipped hand pockets provide practical storage for smaller essentials.
The secure fastenings help keep items such as keys, cards or dog-walking accessories safely contained while on the move.
Versatile Layering
Wear the Laviolette over a shirt or base layer during mild weather, or add it beneath a larger coat when temperatures fall.
Its soft texture and understated design make it suitable for the stable, countryside walks, relaxed weekends and casual trips into town.
Recycled Material Content
The fabric is made from 72% polyester and 28% recycled polyester.
The recycled content helps make use of existing material while maintaining the warmth and softness expected from a Sherpa fleece.
