Product Overview
The Orn Ladies Lapwing Softshell Gilet is a refined outer layer specifically tailored for the female form. Unlike unisex alternatives that can often appear bulky, this gilet provides a professional silhouette without sacrificing the utility required for a busy working day. It serves as a versatile mid-layer or a standalone outer garment during transitional weather, offering a practical solution for those who need to maintain core warmth while keeping their arms free for movement.
Key Features
- Tailored Female Fit: Designed to follow the natural line of the body, ensuring a smart and professional appearance on site or in the office.
- Two-Layer Softshell Fabric: Provides a medium-weight barrier against the elements, balancing insulation with breathability.
- Sleeveless Design: Offers maximum arm mobility, which is essential for manual tasks or operating equipment without the restriction of sleeves.
- Durable 100% Polyester Construction: The synthetic fibres are engineered to resist stretching and shrinking, maintaining the garment's shape over time.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a medium-weight two-layer fabric, this gilet is designed for durability and comfort. The 100% polyester outer is resilient and handles the rigours of daily wear with ease, while the inner layer provides a comfortable feel against the skin or base layers. The fabric is substantial enough to offer wind resistance, yet flexible enough to move with the wearer. This well-engineered garment ensures that you remain protected from the chill without the overheating often associated with heavier jackets.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation. Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance — ideal for logos and names — and stands up to repeated washing without fading, ensuring your brand remains sharp. Print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, making it a practical choice for high-impact visibility. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to guarantee a professional finish.
Use Cases
This gilet is an excellent choice for site supervisors, logistics staff, or outdoor event organisers who require a layer of warmth while maintaining a professional image. Its smart appearance makes it equally suitable for customer-facing roles where a full jacket might feel too informal or restrictive, yet protection from a drafty warehouse or cold morning is still required.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider your layering requirements. If you intend to wear this gilet over a substantial sweatshirt or jumper, you may find a slightly larger size offers better comfort. For a sleek, professional look over a polo shirt or blouse, sticking to your standard size will maintain the intended tailored fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the softshell fabric and ensure your custom branding remains in peak condition, proper maintenance is essential. Regular cleaning helps to prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the polyester fibres, which can degrade the material over time.
We recommend turning the garment inside out before washing. This simple step protects any embroidery or print from direct friction against the washing machine drum, reducing the risk of thread fraying or design cracking. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of the softshell fabric and reduce its effectiveness in regulating your body temperature.
