Our Men's Gilet & Bodywarmer Styles

Men's Body Warmers

Rydale's men's body warmers are sleeveless gilets made for layering over a shirt or jumper when the mornings turn cold. The range runs from quilted and padded styles to cotton and fleece, all designed in-house in East Yorkshire for country and outdoor wear.

Men's Gilets

Shop men's gilets built for British weather, with quilted, padded and cotton styles that sit neatly under a coat or work on their own on a dry day. Every gilet is own brand and cut for an outdoor fit rather than a slim town one.

Cotton Gilets

Cotton gilets give you a softer, more breathable layer than a quilted body warmer, which suits milder days and indoor to outdoor wear. Rydale's cotton gilets pair with a check shirt for an easy country look.

Smart Gilets for Men

A smart gilet finishes a shirt and chinos for the pub or the races without the bulk of a coat. Rydale's smarter gilets keep clean lines and country colours so they work on and off the field.

Padded and Quilted Gilets

Padded and quilted gilets trap warmth around your core while leaving your arms free, so they earn their place on shoots, dog walks and the school run alike. The quilting and country colours are the styles most men reach for here.

Body Warmers for Farming and the Yard

For farm and yard work you want a hard wearing body warmer that takes a beating and keeps your core warm while your arms stay free. These are built for daily outdoor graft, not just the weekend.

Styling Our Men’s Country Fleece Gilets & Bodywarmers

Field & Farm

Layer a waxed gilet over a flannel shirt and waterproof trousers for a rugged combo that shrugs off thorns and light drizzles while you tackle daily jobs.

Pub Smart

Slip a tweed gilet over an Oxford shirt, add straight-leg jeans and brogue shoes, and you have a laid-back ensemble that looks sharp by the fireside.

Weekend Errands

A mens quilted gilet in a neutral tone teams effortlessly with a crew-neck tee and chinos, keeping your core warm while you dash between shops or walk the dog.

Active Outdoors

Choose a fleece gilet over a ribbed jumper with walking boots when the forecast is cool but clear. This practical combination offers lightweight warmth for hikes and hedge-cutting alike.

Cold-Weather Layering

When temperatures plunge, wear any of our mens gilets beneath a waxed jacket or over a chunky knit. Add thermal base layers, waterproof leather boots, and a full coverage hat for head-to-toe protection from the elements.
