141M - Russell Athletic Soft Shell Gilet
The Russell 141M Soft Shell Gilet is a practical option for building a layered staff outfit or adding a sleeveless outer to your everyday wardrobe. Combine it with a polo for a simple uniform, wear it over a shirt for a smarter look, or pair it with a sweatshirt when you want a fuller underlayer.
Its three-layer softshell fabric contains elastane alongside polyester, giving the construction stretch. Russell describes the fabric as windproof and breathable, with water resistance up to 5000mm. These properties make the material a useful feature to compare when choosing an outer layer for day-to-day wear.
The full front zip is backed by an inner storm flap, with a neck protector at the collar for a considered finish around the fastening. Lined chest and side pockets use reversed zips and cord pulls, helping you keep small items organised without open pocket mouths.
A dropped rear hem provides extra coverage at the back, and a bungee cord lets you adjust the fit around the bottom. Choose from the four colours and sizes shown, allowing comfortable room for the clothing underneath. The 141M’s combination of adjustable coverage, accessible pockets and uncovered arms offers a versatile alternative to a full jacket.
