Jamieson’s has been a family owned business for five generations and specializes in producing and spinning wool from the sheep on Scotland’s remote Shetland Islands.

A special collaboration between Penfield and Jamiesons’s, the two brands have worked on the Gillman Jacket and the Gillman Vest, both incorporating Jamieson’s Shetland wool in an exclusive limited edition.

Both the yoke and hand-warmer pockets are constructed in Fair Isle patterned wool, contrasting the tough 60/40 Cotton Nylon outer. Additional insulation is provided by the premium 80/20 down while hardwearing copper snaps keep the front sealed against the elements. Leather trimmed piped cuffs give a tough finish and protect from wear and tear.

The jacket and vest are available for men and women now in the Penfield USA online store.

The hooded fleece vest comes in black and navy colorways, featuring a nylon zip chest pocket and some beautiful Norwegian pattern details on the lining, making for both a nice detail and contrast. The vest is now in stock at anoutcommune.
