The HOGGS OF FIFE Lindores Gents Quilted Gilet is a lightly insulated country layer designed for dog walking, outdoor work and everyday rural wear.
Its matte polyester ripstop outer combines a traditional diamond-quilted design with windproof and shower-resistant performance. A PFAS-free water-repellent finish provides further protection when the weather becomes changeable.
Leatherette trims and an antique brass-coloured zip complement the Forest colourway, while three practical pockets provide convenient storage.
Light insulation provides useful warmth around the body without the bulk of a heavy padded coat.
The sleeveless construction leaves the arms unrestricted, making the Lindores comfortable for walking, working and completing everyday outdoor tasks.
The windproof outer helps protect the body from cold breezes, while its shower-resistant finish provides coverage during brief spells of light rain.
The Lindores does not have a published waterproof rating and should be worn beneath a waterproof jacket during persistent or heavy rain.
A Teflon EcoElite water-repellent treatment helps moisture bead on the surface instead of immediately soaking into the fabric.
The treatment is PFAS-free and may require periodic maintenance as its effectiveness reduces through wear and cleaning.
The matte polyester outer has a ripstop construction designed to improve resistance to small tears.
Its classic diamond quilting holds the light insulation evenly in position and gives the gilet a traditional country appearance.
Two open-top lower pockets provide convenient storage and somewhere to place cold hands.
A vertically zipped internal pocket offers a more secure place for a phone, keys or wallet.
Leatherette trims add a classic finishing touch, while the antique brass-coloured front zip and branded puller complement the understated Forest fabric.
The design pairs naturally with tattersall shirts, knitted pullovers, field trousers and outdoor boots.
Wear the Lindores over a shirt or lightweight jumper during cool, dry weather. When temperatures fall, it can also be worn beneath a roomy waterproof or waxed jacket.
It is suitable for farming, dog walking, gardening, country events and relaxed everyday wear.
