Shaggy Gilet

I want to stroke this and take it for a nice long walk. Fun printed lining and useful side pockets.

"I am a size 12 - 14 and so had the M and it fits beautifully. The chocolate brown is so rich and the spotty lining is lovely. The material is so snuggly. Is a great value item that can be worn under coats, or on it's own over a jumper.."

"Well I'm sort of undecided about this. I really dread items that are Small, Medium or Large as this has usually meant it's hard to know which to go for even when looking at garment measurements. Knitwear that's a medium has aways been just a bit too tight whereas Large is usually too large and I think this is the case here too. I've got the purple in Large (I'm a 5ft 7 and a 12 mostly though again knitwear I find small from boden so get a 14) and I'm still at the stage of wondering about it.

The colour is great, it is everso soft and the lining goes well too. Because this is a large it's reaching to the bottom of my hips (rather than finishing at "top hip" as per description)which is good and i do like. It feels a bit too wide though but overall I expect that if I sent it back and got an M (like if there was a opportunity, which given the stock levels that seems pretty doubtful!) that would possibly be a little short and a little tight through the body and hips which is what seems to be coming over in the reviews and was the main reason I sized up).

It's not an exciting item and it's not really going to add a sophisticated air to an outfit but I think it will be useful."

"This is the type of piece you reach for again and again. My teens say it looks like a skinned boar but it really is handy for "my" age group. While I like it and use it a lot, there are three things that would make it perfect to me: 1) more nipped in or taillored at waist 2) heavier material 3) zippered pockers

By the way the brown one looks great with the Spotty tee in pewter"

"I just managed to get my hands on this cute little item, and am so happy with it. My only regret is that, like several other customers, I prevaricated, thereby missing the opportunity to buy it in the other colourways. Please, please Johnnie, can you obtain any more stock, or at least bring it back next year; the same colours and more...? PLEASE!!"

"I ordered in brown as soon as the catalogue arrived. Carelessly I dithered over the ivory - it went out of stock but thankfully, just popped back in in my size... I absolutely adore this and wear it inside and outside almost permanently. It really is, I think, the nicest item I have ever had from Boden. And I have a LOT from Boden which I love. (PS Where are the cord utility trousers this year?!?!?)"

I recommend the quality and the style of this gilet."

"I ordered this in large as the smaller sizes in dark colours had sold out. I am a size 12 and would have liked to order it in a medium as well to compare fit,. I could tell this would be fantastic in a size smaller, but unfortunately the large is just to loose and shapeless on me. - I prefer a snugger fit. The gillet is lovely and soft and I'm really disappointed to miss the boat this year."

"This has got to be the most hugable itemin my wardrobe at the moment. Was not sure if I would just look like a big brown bear (size 16 top half) but it fits really well and does not make my bust look any bigger than it is. I am getting lots of hugs from the children when I wear it though as they say it is cosy. just waiting for another cold day so I can wear it again."

"I don't always go for the "Boden" look but I absolutely love this item of clothing. I've had a brown one for a couple of years but this year bought the purple one and really haven't taken it off since. It just feels so cosy! I wouldn't recommend it to a friend only because I don't want everyone to have one!! Looking forward to next years colours. Could we have more funky, dark colours please??"

"I got this gilet in brown. I've been waiting for these to come back in but didn't want a light colour. The lining is fun, but a plain dark lining would be better on the pockets, as the odd white spot showing looks like a hanky sticking out. I'm a size 10 and got the small, which is a snug fit. It's very comfortable and cosy, I don't find the collar itchy, it looks good and I'm very happy and warm."

How can I live without this?, 16 September 2008 By Sairyfairy

Fit:		5 out of 5
Appearance:		5 out of 5
Quality:		5 out of 5
Value:		5 out of 5

"My shaggy gilet and I met a couple of weeks ago and we've become the best of friends. We seem to be going almost everywhere together. It is really lightweight and not bulky at all, yet it is amazingly snug and warm. I throw it on for the school run and even when I've felt chilly in the evening. My kids say I look like a little lamb, but I don't mind.
It fits really well, I'm a 12 so got a Medium. It sits just on my hips which I like. I wear it over shirts, t-shirts and lightweight jumpers. I can see myself putting under my winter coat when it's really cold without it feeling too bulky.
I love it."
