    Elowen 100% Lightweight Cotton Quilted Gilet

    Named after the Cornish word meaning "elm tree", Elowen reflects a love of time spent outdoors and the quiet beauty of the natural world. Inspired by woodland walks, changing seasons and the rich textures found in nature, it's a versatile layer you'll reach for throughout the year. Knitted from 100% cotton in a lightweight double-layer quilted knit, it feels soft, breathable and comfortable whether worn over a t-shirt, shirt or your favourite lightweight knit.

    The quilted texture takes its inspiration from woven seersucker, creating subtle depth with a beautifully soft handle. A flattering V-neck, natural buttons and two angled patch pockets give Elowen an easy, relaxed feel, while fine tubular trims around the neckline, placket and hem provide a clean finish.
