100% Cotton Textured Sleeveless Jacket
Inspired by heritage workwear and a slower, more natural way of living, the Forrester v-neck gilet blends functional layering with subtle refinement. Designed for comfort, warmth, and versatility, it’s crafted from 100% cotton with a tactile quilted structure and soft finish.
With its lightweight 467g build, the Forrester is ideal for transitional weather or wearing indoors. It features a traditional 5-button front placket, large integrated pockets for practicality, and a shaped hem for ease of movement and a refined look. Bound seams offer a clean, durable finish.
Layer it over knitwear, shirting or jersey for everyday ease, whether you're in the garden, walking the dog, or heading into town.
