Proof that even the post practical of sartorial classics can be reworked and reimagined? This gilet by
Tom Ford. Yes, it’s crafted from lightweight shell filled with cosy down and stitched with wide padded stripe, but the difference here, though, is that it’s fitted with a panel of smooth leather that works its way over your shoulders and up the funnel-neck. Contrasting against the muted hues, a silver-toned zip runs down the centre to the straight hem at your hips.
