Ridgeline Mens Monarch Gilet
Ridgeline Mens Monarch Gilet
Traditional look. Traditional feel. Revolutionary performance.
Since the early 19th century, cotton moleskin has been a popular fabric choice for manufacturers of durable, comfortable, good-looking workwear. And it’s no surprise. Densely woven but with a luxuriously soft hand-feel, it’s extremely hard-wearing and usefully windproof. The downside of cotton, however, is that once it gets wet, it loses its insulating properties and takes an age to dry.
Ridgeline’s new Moleskin Tech-Knit Supreme, by contrast, offers all the benefits of cotton moleskin with none of the functional downsides.
It’s a knitted fabric made from 47% cotton as you’d expect. The difference, though, is that we’ve added 7% nylon and 46% polyester to the blend and produced it in a substantial 380gsm weight.
Compared to ordinary cotton moleskin, it’s harder-wearing, quicker-drying, more wind-resistant, and, for its weight, considerably warmer. In short, it’s better. By a country mile.
Ridgeline's new Monarch Gilet makes full use of the remarkable properties of this revolutionary new fabric: it offers a supremely comfortable, traditional feel in conjunction with all the performance of a technical polyester fleece.
By any standards, our Monarch Gilet, made from Moleskin Tech-Knit Supreme, represents a huge stride forward and a new benchmark in performance country wear.
Available in: Navy, Deep Forest, Teak, Shale
