Product Overview
The Kariban Luca men's microfleece gilet is a sophisticated yet practical solution for professionals requiring an extra layer of warmth without the restriction of sleeves. This medium-weight garment balances thermal efficiency with a streamlined silhouette, making it an essential addition to any corporate or trade uniform. Crafted with a focus on longevity and professional appearance, it serves as a reliable core piece for year-round wear, providing that necessary bit of insulation when the temperature drops but movement remains a priority.
Key Features
- Anti-pill microfleece finish: This ensures the fabric maintains its smooth, professional appearance even after repeated wear and washing, preventing the bobbling often associated with lower-quality fleece garments.
- Zip-through front: The full-length zip allows for easy ventilation and quick transitions between indoor and outdoor environments, making it a versatile choice for fluctuating work conditions.
- Cover-stitched side pockets: These provide secure storage for essential items while the reinforced stitching ensures durability under frequent use, preventing common wear and tear in high-stress areas.
- Global Ethical Accreditations: Being BSCI, Oeko-Tex, and SEDEX certified, this gilet meets stringent international standards for ethical production and textile safety, giving you peace of mind regarding its provenance.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester microfleece, the Luca gilet is designed for active performance. The medium-weight fabric offers excellent heat retention while remaining breathable, ensuring comfort throughout a busy workday. The inclusion of cover stitching on the side pockets is not merely aesthetic; it provides structural integrity to the garment's construction. The anti-pill finish is a critical performance feature, preserving the textile's soft handle and visual clarity over a long service life, even in demanding environments.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the specific pile and texture of microfleece, we recommend embroidery as the sole customisation method for this garment. Embroidery provides a premium, tactile finish that integrates seamlessly with the fleece fibres, ensuring your logo remains sharp and professional where print might fail to adhere. At MyWorkwear, our in-house embroidery team has been perfecting this craft since 1976. We use high-quality threads that stand up to the rigours of daily work, ensuring your branding remains as durable as the gilet itself.
Use Cases
This gilet is ideally suited for tradespeople who need core warmth while maintaining full arm mobility for technical tasks. It is equally effective for warehouse staff operating in variable temperatures or for site managers who require a professional appearance when moving between the office and the field. Its clean design also makes it a popular choice for event staff and delivery personnel who need to look smart while staying warm.

Practical Advice
The Luca gilet is designed with a standard fit, ranging from Small to 3XL. For those planning to wear it over thick hoodies or heavy sweatshirts, you may wish to consider sizing up to ensure comfortable movement. It functions best as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in harsh weather or as a standalone outer layer during transitional seasons when a full jacket is unnecessary.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and aesthetic quality of your microfleece, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C on a normal programme. This lower temperature prevents the polyester fibres from degrading, ensuring the gilet retains its shape and soft texture over time.
It is vital that you do not iron this garment. As a synthetic polyester fabric, direct heat from an iron will cause the fibres to melt, resulting in permanent damage to the fleece and your custom embroidery. Similarly, do not tumble dry; instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally to avoid heat-related shrinkage and static build-up.
Avoid the use of bleach or dry cleaning chemicals. These harsh substances can strip the anti-pill finish and compromise the colour fastness of both the fabric and the embroidery threads. Following these steps will ensure your workwear remains in peak condition for the long term.
