Walker and Hawkes Wax Winchester Gilet for Men – Water-Resistant Wax Cotton Bodywarmer with Corduroy Collar and Tartan Lining

I bought this as a less expensive alternative to a Barbour vest! The pros are it’s well made and warm, it looks great, and is comfortable. The only slight con is its touch blousey. But not too much. I did have my tailor alter it a bit to make it a bit more fitted! I did wash and dry it which made it a better fit as well however you’ll need to re wax it if you go this route. I have waxed several jackets and vests and I understand the process which isn’t hard at all but a bit of a process. Again not bad though. The vest fits incredibly well now and is again an excellent option to Barbour! For way less! I love Barbour but the price point can be daunting. I’ve even had someone ask if it’s a Barbour. There are several colors and I’ll likely get the OD green one as well! I found this vest fairly true to size but had ordered the XL initially because of reviews saying it ran small. I didn’t find that to be the case and returned the XL for my usual Large. Again though I like things more fitted so I had it altered. That said it’s a great vest!

I love this Winchester Gilet! Word to the wise...if you wear a medium then buy a medium. Some reviewers suggest buying a smaller size than you normally wear and I followed their advice only to find out that wasn't the case for me and I had to return the small and reorder the medium. It takes a little getting used to the waxed finish but it's a warm, lightweight vest that repels water...something you need in the PNW. Thanks

The exterior of the olive colored gilet is darker (appearing nearly black in some light). Otherwise it is nice. Better quality than most vests I would find in American stores.

Jacket is great quality. Zipper seems strong and durable. Sizing is not U.S.A. so size up a size or two if from U.S.A.

This is a great value for a wax cloth vest.

Too small

Muy serios, excelente producto. Recomiendo este provedor

Perfect for slightly chilly days wher you don’t need a winter coat. True to size, warm and comfortable.

In linea con le altre recensioni 5 stelle per fattura ed eleganza, la cerniera scorre molto bene, 2 tasche esterne ed 1 interna, colletto giusto per il tipo di indumento: non troppo altro da essere sportivo e non troppo basso da essere un gilet "da pesca". Consiglio di metterlo all'esterno per diverse ore per "asciugarsi" un pò, visto che è cerato ben bene, e poi se avete un gatto in casa sarà sempre lì ad annusarlo, si vede che l'odore è buono 😸. Ho preso una taglia M alla luce delle altre recensioni che parlavano di taglia un pò abbondante: effettivamente di solito prendo una L, sono 168 cm per 77 Kg: il gilet veste bene anche con un maglioncino leggero sotto. Stra-consigliato!

İngiliz malı, kalıbı güzel,kumaşı iyi waxlanmış. Çok iyi bir fermuar var. Sweatshirt veya kazakla göğüs çapınızı ölçüp bedeninizi Seçin. 1.80 cm boy, 120 cm göğüs çapına 2XL aldım çok rahat oldu. Ama fit biraz daha dar isteniyorsa XL de olur. Kaliteli yelek tavsiye ederim.

Excelente chaleco, muy útiles los bolsillos, si son delgados compren una talla menor, ya que es bastante amplio sobre todo en el área de abdomen.

Article d'excellente qualité. Correspond à la photo. Taille bien. Je recommande.

Ideal para primavera, otoño e invierno suave. Muy buena calidad y bien terminado
