Patrick Irish Tweed Gilet
Style
The Patrick Gilet is a practical piece inspired by heritage outdoors gear. The large hip pockets provide ample storage for all the day's essentials and feature hidden hand-warmer pockets to keep your hands warm in any situation. An internal drawstring allows the waist to be drawn in for a tailored look or let out to accommodate thicker layers. The brushed cotton lining adds durability and warmth to this classic piece. Wear as a piece outwear with a pair of heavy tweed trousers or jeans and thicker piece of knitwear. Alternatively, wear as mid layer beneath a raglan coat for an extra bit of warmth and style.
Fit
Patrick is a slim fit with narrow hips. For a slim fit, we would suggest ordering your usual size. Those wanting to layer or who prefer a looser fit should size up one.

Fabric
Irish tweeds are characterised by their Donegal fleck pattern. These small speck or "neps" are made by mixing shorter, colourful yarns into the base wool during the spinning process. Historically done to reduce waste and use up otherwise unusably short fibres, these contrasting specks and the fuzzy tweeds they were woven into have gained a cult following. Woven by a historic mill in Ireland, these tweeds have similar characteristic to Harris Tweed, oweing to their shared history as a working mans cloths, designed to survie the frigid north atlantic climate.

Herringbone
Herringbone, also called broken twill weave, describes a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern. It is distinguished from a plain chevron by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag. The pattern is called herringbone because it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish.
