Ridgeline Men’s Monarch Gilet – Moody Teak

£89.99

Ridgeline

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, considerable warmer. In short, it’s better. By a country mile.

Our 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 forwards—and a new benchmark in performance country wear.

What Our Customers Say

Excellent service. Bought two air pistols and did a deal with accessories. Nice gent served me and was very knowledgable.

Excellent service. I recently purchased a new shotgun from Gilders and when I got home I discovered that a couple of the chokes were missing from the box. After phoning the shop the missing chokes were sent directly from the importers and arrived within two days. I might add that the gun was very competitively priced.

Been in here a few times over the past couple of weeks. Very helpful staff and a pleasure to talk too. Called their other store on multiple occasions to see if they had items that the didn't have in Kettering. One of them (an air rifle) was in Northampton and they shipped it over to Kettering for me. Back again next day and again, a very helpful attitude from all staff! Highly recommended!

I have used Gilders for all my fishing, shooting and clothing goods for over 20 years now and they are - and have always been - absolutely 1st class.

Great shop, staff helpful and friendly. Jordan gave some good advice on my purchase. Shop looks small from the front but opens up to wide range of goods. Will defiantly use again!
