Why Choose a Personalised Gilet?
A personalised gilet is an ideal casual piece of clothing to wear when the weather turns chillier. Now’s the perfect time to layer up with some comfortable Autumn clothing!
What is a Gilet?
A gilet (pronounced ‘ji-lay’) is a garment that is worn over the top of lighter pieces of clothing to warm up or maintain the core body temperature. It gives you another layer without the need for a jacket or fleece. Gilets are a fashionable choice and commonly worn over the top of other items of clothing.
How do Gilets Work?
Gilets help to maintain the core temperature of the body in a similar way to an under vest. By warming the torso and freeing the arms, they prevent excess underarm sweat yet preserve body warmth. They are the perfect choice for when you don’t want to get too hot or restricted by wearing a jacket; so ideal for the changing seasons.
Reasons to Consider a Personalised Gilet
A personalised gilet features the logo from a company or organisation and is worn both for practicality and for advertising the brand. These gilets may also be co-branded featuring the make of clothing in addition to the company logo. This item of clothing also has a high perceived value making it a premium choice that staff or a recipient will want to wear.
A Stylish Choice
A gilet is both versatile and easy to wear. Pop on in addition to other lighter garments for a casual layered look. Gilets are adaptable and perfect for Autumn and Spring when the weather is unpredictable and changeable.
Gilets often feature multiple handy pockets which are both a stylish feature and practical for keeping your hands warm in cooler conditions.
A gilet can be dressed up or down for a casual, yet professional look. When branded with your logo, personalised gilets provide a great opportunity to promote your brand in a subtle, yet noticeable way.

They are great for those with circulatory conditions such as high or low blood pressure, respiratory issues or arthritis as they can help promote blood circulation by generating core heat.
