Gilet in Nettle Fibre

Description

A hot day, light clothes, and the wish to still look put together. This light grey summer gilet is made for that mood. It rests on your shoulders almost weightlessly and never restricts your movement. Put it on, and the outfit is done.

The texture of the yarn is rustic, with a natural, slightly rough character, so the gilet looks relaxed and alive. This nettle fibre gilet exists only once. Wear it as a top, or over a shirt, blouse or lightweight sweater.

That feeling has a reason.

The gilet is knitted from 100% natural nettle fibre. It feels like linen, but softer and silkier. Nettle does not fade in the sun, has natural antibacterial properties, absorbs moisture well and dries quickly, so you stay fresh all day. Size XL, height 70 cm, width 57 cm. If you like this material, take a look at the Green Nettle Tunic, and the Materials page tells you more about the other materials I work with.

Size & Fit:

To know how this gilet will fit you, take a similar garment you already own, lay it flat and measure its height and width with a tape measure. Compare your numbers with mine (see the last photo), and you will know almost exactly how it will sit on you.

Care:

Hand wash and rinse with fabric softener. Gently press the water out in a towel and leave the gilet to dry flat. No ironing needed.
