Cambrian Gilet
Cambrian Gilet
The first garment in our clothing range, now in our 3rd edition Cambrian tweed!
From deepest Carmarthenshire, a blend of smooth, white, Welsh Mule fleeces, from a multi-generational family farm in the Cothi valley, and bouncy Black Welsh Mountain from our neighbouring farm tucked in below the north-western foot of the Epynt.
The sizing is non-gendered and fairly generous, designed to be layered up in the winter. If you are between sizes we recommend going for the smaller option. If you need any further advice, please do get in touch. (XXL can be made to order)
This is an all season garment for gathering firewood, spring gardening, summer evenings and autumn walking …or for beating the chills of sitting still.
You will never find polyester here.
Aside from the locally produced, 100% Welsh wool tweed, the quilted inner layer of our Cambrian Gilet is also, still, truly unique in the growing market for these garments; made from 100% British Jacob wool, this natural fibre layer adds a remarkably light weight, breathable, comfortable and wonderfully thermal quality, whilst remaining slim enough to be worn under a waterproof jacket.
Every single Gilet is still handmade in our home studio in Carmarthenshire, by Emily.
The pockets are lined with sturdy organic cotton canvas to cope with full and proper use, there is a small inside chest pocket for valuables and side vents for ease of movement. The lining is cut from a fine lambswool/cotton blend cloth with a brushed finish, salvaged from left over luxury UK designer fabric stock otherwise destined for landfill.
