The Alderney Linen Gilet - Limestone

Regular price £239.00
/
Tax included.

The Alderney linen gilet is the latest iteration 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 hot summer days and cooler evenings alike.

This beautifully soft Limestone colour edition, with subtle green collar and pocket trims, has been produced as part of a limited 2022 production run - available now whilst stocks last.

  • Designed and made in England from sustainably sourced premium grade linen supplied by Libeco in Belgium

  • Quarter lined with contrasting seam binding

  • Fully functioning contrasting welted pockets, including a useful inside top pocket

  • Classic Nehru collar finished with contrast cotton piping 

  • Biodegradable flat front urea buttons

  • Organic cotton labels

  • 100% plastic free

Linen Gilets

Given the natural fabric and fibres inherent within all of our products a light touch approach is recommended when it comes to care and cleaning. This is especially the case with linen given its naturally occurring anti-bacterial qualities.

For day to day care, placing your gilet on a hanger when not in use will help to maintain its shape. A warm iron may be used to remove creases if preferred.

For small stains and minor mishaps, a gentle brush or spot clean with a damp cloth should be the first port of call. Alternatively we suggest dry cleaning as a last resort. DO NOT tumble dry.
