Sheepskin Zip Front Gilet Olive Grey | Kendal by Owen Barry

The finishing details make this sheepskin gilet more than just another “body warmer”. Yes, you want a gilet to keep you snuggly warm, but surely you also want to look beautiful?

That is why we have designed Kendal and put so much attention into her finer points.

Hand-cut and made in our own Somerset factory, the Kendal gilet benefits from a neat elasticated channel in the small of your back; this is so flattering that it gives a flex of fit and a much more elegant silhouette. Perfect if you want to wear her under a jacket for extra warmth.

The neat double-wall stand collar is another good-looking addition; it offers protection against the weather but sits attractively flattering your neckline.

The length is perfect; covering the bottom guarantees both warmth and grace.

In designing this elegant gilet, rest assured we haven’t forgotten the practicalities; the easy-access pockets are secured with neat welt flaps.

The full-length zip is double-ended, meaning for ease of movement, you can open it from the bottom or the top; one half is open whilst the other stays protected – clever.

Oh yes, on the subject of protection, the full-length YKK metal zipper is backed by a wind-jamming facing, which luckily also prevents your best blouse or jumper from ever being caught in the zipper.

All the skins used in the Owen Barry range are hand-selected and 100% a by-product of the food industry. Learn more about our material choices here.
