Quilted Liner Vest

The Quilted Liner Vest is a light layer for the in-between months. On its own it takes the edge off a cool spring morning; in winter it goes under the Waxed Field Jacket and adds warmth without adding bulk at the arms. This run has sold out, and the next one is back in November.

Materials

• Shell and lining in recycled polyester, with a soft, matt finish
• 2.4 oz/yd² recycled polyester fill, stitched through in a 2-inch diamond quilt so it does not shift
• Snap front, two hand pockets and bound edges at the collar and armholes
• Sewn with a partner workshop in Poland

Fit

A regular fit, close enough to sit under a jacket and long enough to cover the waistband. Take your usual size. Size M is 27 inches long at the back and weighs about 9 oz, and it folds into its own pocket for travel.

Care

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with the snaps closed, then dry flat or tumble dry on low with a couple of clean tennis balls to loosen the fill. Do not iron. Navy hides wear well, and a quick sponge with cold water is usually enough between washes.
