gilets

My 19 year old GD came on Sunday wearing a black and white faux fur one, I had to be very diplomatic. It seems they are very trendy.

I suppose it depends on where you feel the cold. Some people feel cold more in their arms and hands. Others feel cold in their legs and feet.
I wear a gilet for gardening, it has zip pockets for my phone, hanky and house keys. I like wearing them instead of a jacket, when driving, so you can just pop out of the car without a coat.
As Kitty says they give you more arm freedom.

I've never bought one but I agree Baggs
H wears one sometimes when gardening, I can see the advantage in that.

I quite like gilets as they allow more arm freedom.
