Product Overview
The SOL'S Wilson Lightweight Padded Jacket is a masterclass in thermal efficiency and streamlined design. Engineered for those who require a professional appearance without compromising on warmth, this jacket utilizes a premium 90% down and 10% feather padding. This specific ratio ensures a high warmth-to-weight ratio, allowing the wearer to remain insulated in cooler conditions while maintaining full mobility. The garment also highlights a commitment to modern textile innovation, with a transition toward 60% Sorona® and 40% recycled polyester padding, offering a more sustainable choice without sacrificing performance. Its unbranded size label and ability to pack into a compact bag make it a versatile asset for corporate uniform programmes and retail-ready branding.

Design & Performance
Constructed with a 100% polyamide outer and lining, the Wilson jacket is designed to be both durable and comfortable. Polyamide is chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, which is essential for workwear that faces daily use. The stand-up collar provides a sleek, modern silhouette while offering additional protection for the neck against cold drafts. The open hem design ensures a relaxed fit that does not restrict movement, making it suitable for active roles. The inclusion of an unbranded size label is a deliberate design choice, allowing for seamless re-branding and a clean, bespoke finish for any business.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth polyamide surface and fine padding of the Wilson jacket make it an excellent candidate for customisation. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting the art of garment decoration since 1976. We highly recommend embroidery for this jacket; the technique produces a sophisticated, permanent finish that is perfect for company logos and names, adding a touch of class to your professional attire.
For those looking for larger, bold designs, high-definition heat-transfer printing is also available. This method allows for intricate graphics to be applied to the technical fabric while maintaining the jacket's lightweight feel. Whether you choose the refined look of embroidery or the visual impact of print, our in-house experts ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This lightweight jacket is ideal for customer-facing staff who require a professional appearance while working in varied temperatures. It is a popular choice for site supervisors, transport and logistics professionals, and corporate teams who need a smart, outer layer for commuting or outdoor events. Its low-bulk design also makes it an excellent choice for staff who frequently transition between vehicles and outdoor environments.

Practical Advice
As a lightweight padded garment, the Wilson jacket is most effective when used as part of a layering system. It fits comfortably over a polo shirt or sweatshirt for added insulation. Due to the nature of down padding, we recommend shaking the jacket after unpacking it from its storage bag to help the feathers regain their loft and maximise thermal performance.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your padded jacket is essential for its longevity. We recommend following the specific instructions on the internal care label to ensure the down-fill remains evenly distributed. Neglecting these instructions can result in the padding clumping, which reduces the jacket’s ability to trap heat and compromises its professional appearance.
The showerproof properties of the polyamide outer shell can be preserved by avoiding harsh chemical detergents. We advise using a gentle wash cycle and ensuring the jacket is thoroughly dried, often requiring a low-heat tumble dry with dryer balls to restore the padding's volume and prevent moisture from being trapped within the down.
