Review: Excellent vest! - 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! Review: Lightweight and warm - 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Darker color than expected *by S***R on December 29, 2023* 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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/727770544-wax-winchester-gilet-for-men-water-resistant-wax-cotton-bodywarmer](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/727770544-wax-winchester-gilet-for-men-water-resistant-wax-cotton-bodywarmer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
