Midweight 100% Cotton Workwear Gilet

Workwear has always been built around usefulness. The Sawyer takes that idea into knitwear, combining a relaxed, practical shape with the durability and comfort of 100% cotton.

The Sawyer gilet has a substantial 640-gram midweight feel while remaining breathable and comfortable through the changing seasons. It is an easy layer for everyday wear, travel and time outdoors.

A dense full Milano knit gives the cotton structure and stability, creating a clean, boxy silhouette with a back that falls slightly longer than the front. Workwear-inspired angled patch pockets bring character and practical storage, joined by a secure internal buttoned pocket. A ribbed baseball collar, finely finished armholes and self-finished hem keep the construction simple and considered. The full-length zip is sourced from Italy for a dependable finishing detail.

Style Summary

  • Natural Comfort: Knitted from 100% cotton for a soft, breathable feel that is comfortable worn over a T-shirt, shirt or lightweight knit.
  • Workwear Utility: Generous angled patch pockets and a secure internal buttoned pocket give the Sawyer practical storage for everyday use.
  • Substantial Structure: Full Milano construction creates a dense, stable knitted fabric with enough body to work as an alternative to a lightweight jacket.
  • Easy Layering: The sleeveless design adds useful warmth through the body while keeping the arms unrestricted.
  • Seasonal Versatility: Breathable cotton and a midweight construction make this a useful layer from cooler summer days through spring and autumn.
  • Italian Zip: A full-length zip sourced from Italy provides a durable, considered fastening that makes the gilet easy to wear open or closed.
  • Built for Everyday Wear: A boxier shape, substantial cotton knit and practical pocket construction make the Sawyer well suited to regular use, from weekends and travel to everyday time outdoors.
