Description
The Alderney linen gilet is the culmination of our efforts to find the perfect answer to mid-season and late summer layering.
Quarter lined and cut from a 400g/sm top grade Belgian linen, it has a durable and reassuringly weighty feel to it. This ensures that it holds its shape better than lighter weight linens and the natural properties of the fabric (linen is made from the Flax plant which has a hollow fibre) make it the perfect accompaniment for warm summer days and cooler evenings alike.
Available again for 2023 in a small range of colour options, this versatile Navy edition with charcoal brown contrasting pocket trims and Nehru collar piping is a Darzi classic - understated, timeless and sartorially suitable for all occasions.
Key Features
Care
Pure wool has been used to make clothing for thousands of years and for good reason. Naturally it is thermally insulating, water and odour resistant, extremely hard wearing, breathable and biodegradable; a unique combination of characteristics which make it the perfect choice for high quality, sustainably sourced outerwear. Moreover, thanks to these natural characteristics, abrasive washing treatments are generally unnecessary.
For day to day care, store on a hanger where possible. If well used, or even a little abused, simply hanging out in cool, fresh air for a short time is often all that is needed to bring a wool garment back to its original shape and form.
In the case of light soiling and small mishaps, always try spot cleaning with a brush or a damp cloth in the first instance. In the case of major mishaps, we recommend dry cleaning as a last resort.
DO NOT tumble dry.
