Product Overview
The Premier Artisan fleece gilet is a refined layering solution designed for professionals who require warmth without the restrictive bulk of a full jacket. Crafted with a focus on the hospitality and service industries, this garment provides a sophisticated aesthetic through its contrast trim details and structured high-neck collar. It serves as an ideal intermediate layer, offering the core insulation necessary for outdoor service or drafty indoor environments while ensuring the wearer maintains a polished, professional appearance.
Key Features
- Two-way full-length zipper: This versatile fastening allows the wearer to unfasten from the hem upwards, providing immediate and easy access to pocket aprons or tool belts worn underneath without needing to remove the gilet.
- Four-pocket configuration: Featuring two external zipped side pockets for secure storage of personal items and two internal open pockets for quick-access essentials, ensuring your tools of the trade are always within reach.
- Contrast trim detailing: The thoughtful contrast piping on the pockets, armholes, collar, and zip adds a touch of modern style that elevates the garment beyond standard utility wear.
- Integrated hanging hook: A contrast fabric hook located on the back of the collar allows for convenient storage, helping to maintain the garment's shape when not in use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a durable 100% polyester fleece, this medium-weight gilet is engineered for longevity in active work environments. The fabric provides excellent thermal retention while remaining breathable enough for indoor use. The panelled design on the front and back ensures a structured fit that does not sag, while the sleeveless cut allows for a complete range of motion in the arms—essential for tray service, technical repairs, or retail tasks.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the plush, textured surface of the polyester fleece, this garment is available for embroidery only. Traditional print methods often struggle with the pile of fleece, leading to uneven finishes and poor durability. Embroidery, however, allows our Telford-based team to stitch your logo directly into the fabric, creating a premium, three-dimensional finish that remains crisp and professional wash after wash. With MyWorkwear’s expertise dating back to 1976, we ensure that every stitch is placed with precision to represent your brand accurately.
Use Cases
This gilet is particularly well-suited for hospitality staff providing outdoor table service, event coordinators, or retail teams working in cooler warehouse environments. It also serves as an excellent corporate layering piece for tradespeople who require a professional look when meeting clients, providing warmth during site visits without hindering manual dexterity.

Practical Advice
The Artisan fleece gilet features a generous size range from S to 3XL. For those wearing this over a thick jumper or sweatshirt, we recommend checking the sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit. If you intend to wear it primarily over a lightweight shirt or polo, your standard size should provide a sleek, professional silhouette.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of the fleece and your embroidered logo, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes oils and dirt without subjecting the polyester fibres to excessive heat, which can lead to pilling or loss of shape over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the synthetic fibres and cause the vibrant contrast trims and embroidery threads to fade. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment; if you must use a tumble dryer, ensure it is on a low-temperature setting to prevent heat damage to the embroidery tension. Ironing is generally not required for fleece, but if necessary, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with the embroidered areas to prevent melting the thread.
