The new-season Gurteen Penrith pure wool tweed tailored waistcoat – a rather smarter answer to the country gilet
Original price was: £225.00.£125.00Current price is: £125.00.
A good quilted gilet is a boon — but there are occasions when only tweed will do. This is where Gurteen’s new Penrith comes in.
The Penrith takes one of the most useful garments in a gentleman’s country wardrobe and gives it the treatment it deserves: pure wool tweed, proper tailoring and a particularly handsome raised collar. That collar gives the waistcoat a clean, masculine line and makes the Penrith altogether smarter than the usual padded affair.
It is also immensely practical. Worn simply over a shirt, it is just the thing for an autumn morning when a jacket feels unnecessary. Add lambswool or cashmere as the temperature falls, or wear it beneath a shooting or field coat when winter properly arrives. And because it is tailored rather than padded, it is perfectly capable of coming indoors for lunch.
Gurteen have made the Penrith in three particularly good new-season tweeds — Spice, Sage and Blue.

The Gurteen Penrith Waistcoat Gilet tailored in 100% Wool Tweed: stylish, classic, and contemporary
What we particularly like about the Penrith is that it still feels like tailoring. The proper wool tweed, buttoned front and distinctive stand collar give the garment sufficient presence to be worn in its own right, while its sleeveless cut makes it exceptionally useful for layering. The choice of tweed allows a gentleman to take it in whichever direction best suits his wardrobe.
- Spice has the warm, earthy character of traditional country clothing and sits particularly happily with brown, lovat, olive and the richer autumn shades.
- Sage is the natural choice for those who favour greens and the quieter colours of the countryside.
- Blue will be especially useful for gentlemen whose wardrobes are built around navy, blue and grey.
