Cotton, Wool and Acrylic Blend

The Marcus is made from 40% cotton, 30% wool and 30% acrylic.

Cotton adds softness and breathability, wool provides natural warmth and acrylic helps the knitted fabric retain its shape and durability through regular wear.

Double-Layer Knit

A 12-gauge double-layer knit gives the gilet a comfortable yet structured feel.

The inner layer features a subtle contrasting colour, adding depth and visual interest without making the design difficult to coordinate with the rest of your wardrobe.

Lightweight Warmth

The knitted construction provides useful warmth around the body while leaving the arms unrestricted.

This makes the Marcus particularly well suited to spring and autumn, as well as mild winter days when a fully insulated jacket may feel too heavy.

Full-Length Zip

A clean full-length zip makes the gilet easy to put on, remove and adjust throughout the day.

Wear it fully fastened for additional warmth or leave it open to reveal a checked shirt, knitted jumper or casual T-shirt underneath.

Knitted Welt Pockets

Practical welt pockets are incorporated into the knitted design, providing convenient space for keeping smaller essentials close at hand.

Their streamlined shape maintains the gilet’s clean and refined appearance.

Versatile Layering Piece

The sleeveless design allows comfortable freedom of movement and makes the Marcus easy to incorporate into layered outfits.

Wear it over a shirt or T-shirt in milder weather, or combine it with a lightweight jumper and jacket when conditions become cooler.

Smart-Casual Styling

Pair the Marcus with a checked shirt, chinos and leather boots for a polished country outfit.

For a more relaxed look, wear it over a plain T-shirt with jeans and trainers. Its understated design works equally well for weekends, work and casual social occasions.
