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.
