Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Tampa Quilted Gilet represents a sophisticated approach to corporate outerwear, blending traditional aesthetics with modern environmental considerations. Crafted from a 100% recycled polyester outer fabric, this gilet offers a refined layering solution that does not compromise on professional appearance. Its lightweight insulation provides essential warmth for those working in variable conditions, while the water-resistant finish ensures the wearer remains protected from light showers during outdoor transits or site visits.
Key Features
- Water-Resistant Finish: Provides a critical layer of protection against light rain, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in unpredictable weather.
- Recycled Construction: Utilises 100% recycled polyester for the outer fabric and Repreve recycled insulation, offering a responsible choice for businesses focusing on sustainability.
- Faux Suede Binding: Adds a touch of traditional tailoring and durability to the edges, ensuring the garment maintains its shape and appearance over time.
- Secure Storage: Features two outer side pockets and one internal zipped pocket, providing ample space for tools, communication devices, or personal items.
- Adjustable Fit: Equipped with two drawstring toggles at the side seams, allowing the wearer to customise the fit for comfort and heat retention.
Design & Performance
The Tampa Gilet is engineered for versatility. The use of Repreve recycled insulation ensures a consistent thermal barrier without the excessive bulk often associated with padded outerwear. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals who require a full range of arm movement while maintaining core warmth. The internal structure is well-considered, with the side seam toggles allowing the garment to be cinched in to prevent draughts, making it as functional as it is formal.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This gilet is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. We recommend embroidery for this specific item; the textured nature of the quilted fabric provides a sturdy foundation for high-quality stitched logos or staff names, resulting in a permanent, premium finish. For those requiring larger, more vibrant graphics, print is also an option. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on decades of experience since 1976 to ensure your brand is represented accurately.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for professional environments that require a balance between office-ready style and outdoor practicality. It is frequently selected for property surveyors, hospitality management, and sales teams who move between indoor and outdoor locations. Its clean lines and classic navy colourway ensure it pairs effectively with both formal trousers and more casual workwear.

Practical Advice
To maximise the performance of the Tampa Gilet, we suggest using it as a mid-layer over a long-sleeved shirt during the autumn months, or as a thermal layer beneath a heavier waterproof coat in more severe conditions. Utilize the side toggles to create a closer fit if you are working in windy environments to trap more body heat.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your gilet is essential for long-term performance. This garment is machine washable, which allows for regular cleaning to remove dirt and oils that can eventually degrade the water-resistant coating. We recommend a gentle cycle to prevent unnecessary stress on the quilted stitching.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches, as these will damage the recycled polyester fibres and cause the colour to fade prematurely. When drying, it is best to allow the garment to air dry naturally. Subjecting recycled insulation to high heat in a tumble dryer can cause the padding to clump or lose its thermal efficiency, reducing the overall lifespan of the gilet.
