Mohair Zip Gilet
The Mohair Zip Gilet is a softly brushed sleeveless layer with a neat round neckline, a full front zip and two practical patch pockets. It gives warmth through the body while keeping the arms free, so it works especially well over shirts, fine knits and simple long-sleeve tops.
The design is finished with contrast trim around the neckline, contrast trim around the arm holes and contrast trim along the zip opening. This darker edging frames the garment clearly and gives the soft mohair surface a cleaner, more structured outline.
The shape is straight and compact, with an easy upper-hip length and a smooth zip-through front. Made in a Kid Mohair blend with wool, polyamide and elastane, it has a light brushed halo, gentle stretch and comfortable recovery for everyday layering.

A Sleeveless Mohair Layer with a Clean Zip Front
This gilet is useful when you want the softness of knitwear without the extra warmth of sleeves. The front zip gives it a clear centre line, while the sleeveless shape makes it easy to wear over a blouse, shirt or fine roll neck.
The neckline sits neatly without a collar. Together with the arm hole binding and zip trim, it creates a framed finish that makes the garment feel polished rather than casual or unfinished.
Soft Mohair Texture, Defined by Contrast Trim
The brushed Kid Mohair blend gives the surface a gentle halo and a warm, tactile handle. Wool adds softness, polyamide supports durability, and elastane gives a little recovery so the shape feels comfortable in wear.
The contrast trim is part of the garment’s character. It follows the neckline, the arm holes and the zip edge, helping the soft surface keep a neat visual outline.
Two Sizes with Real Measurements
The S/M size measures 54.5cm in length, 51cm across the chest and 23cm at the arm hole. The M/L size measures 55.5cm in length, 54cm across the chest and 24.5cm at the arm hole.
Choose S/M for a neater fit over fine layers, or M/L if you prefer more ease over shirts and lightweight knitwear. The body is designed to sit compactly rather than longline.
How to Wear This Mohair Gilet
Wear it zipped for a simple, warm line through the body, or leave it open over a shirt for a more relaxed look. It pairs naturally with tailored trousers, denim, long skirts and easy everyday dresses.
Because the gilet is sleeveless, it adds texture and warmth without hiding the layer underneath. This makes it a versatile piece for days when a full cardigan feels too much.
Care Guide for Brushed Mohair
Follow the care label first. Between wears, refresh gently and store the gilet folded, so the knitted shape is properly supported.
When cleaning is needed, hand wash carefully in cool water with a mild wool detergent, or choose specialist dry cleaning if preferred. Do not wring. Reshape flat and dry naturally away from direct heat. The soft halo is part of the mohair character, so brush only very lightly if needed and avoid rubbing the surface.
