Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Lincoln Knitted Zip Gilet is a refined layering essential designed for the modern professional. This sleeveless cardigan combines the traditional aesthetic of high-quality knitwear with the practical functionality required in a busy work environment. By opting for a gilet rather than a full jumper, the wearer enjoys targeted core warmth without compromising arm movement, making it an ideal choice for office-based staff, supervisors, and front-of-house teams who need to remain active while looking sharp.
Key Features
- Full zip front with brass hardware: The robust brass zip provides a secure closure and a classic look, allowing for effortless temperature regulation throughout the working day.
- Faux leather zip puller: This subtle detail adds a touch of sophistication and provides a better grip when adjusting the garment.
- Ribbed neck, cuff, and hem: These structural elements ensure the gilet maintains its tailored shape over time and provides a snug, comfortable fit against the body.
- Versatile sleeveless design: Perfect for layering over shirts or under jackets, offering flexibility across different seasons and indoor climates.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a 12-gauge knit, this gilet features a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. This specific composition is chosen for its performance characteristics: the cotton provides natural breathability and a soft hand-feel, while the acrylic adds necessary durability and shape retention. It is a medium-weight garment that feels substantial enough to provide warmth but remains thin enough to be worn under a blazer without feeling restrictive.
The fine-gauge knit provides a smooth surface that is not only comfortable against the skin but also serves as an excellent canvas for customisation. The navy colourway is professional and versatile, hiding minor marks while projecting a reliable corporate image.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This knitted gilet is particularly well-suited for embroidery. A high-stitch-count logo on the chest provides a superior, three-dimensional finish that conveys a sense of permanence and quality. For businesses looking to make a more significant visual impact, our printing techniques can be applied to create bold, clear designs.
All customisation is handled at our specialised facility in Telford. Our expert team, backed by decades of experience, ensures that every logo is applied with the precision your brand deserves, maintaining the integrity of the knit fabric during the process.
Use Cases
The Lincoln Gilet is a staple for corporate hospitality, retail management, and professional services. It is also an excellent choice for tradespeople who spend time in meetings or surveying sites where a full jacket might be too informal or cumbersome. Its sleeveless nature makes it particularly useful for roles involving significant desk work or manual coordination.

Practical Advice
To achieve the most professional appearance, we recommend pairing this gilet with a collared shirt. Ensure the gilet is zipped to a mid-chest level to display your tie or shirt collar clearly. For the best fit, check our sizing guide, as the ribbed hem is designed to sit comfortably at the waist without riding up.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the appearance of this gilet is straightforward, as it is fully machine washable. Regular cleaning according to the garment's instructions will ensure that the fabric stays fresh and the colours remains vibrant, even with daily use.
By following the recommended washing temperature, you protect the cotton-acrylic fibres from heat damage, which prevents the garment from losing its shape or shrinking. Proper care also ensures that your embroidered or printed branding remains secure and clear for the life of the garment.
