Luxury Diamond Quilted 100% Leather Gilet Vest Waistcoat
This quilted leather waistcoat is built as a layering piece first. Everything about it is designed to disappear under something else: a flat finished neckline that sits under a coat collar without bunching, bound armholes that do not catch on sleeves, light padding that adds warmth rather than bulk, and a slim outline that does not fight a jacket worn over it. Diamond quilting through 100% real leather holds it all in shape.

Built to layer
Most leather waistcoats are outer pieces — thick, structured, worn on top. This one goes the other way. The padding is deliberately light, the profile is kept slim, and the shoulder line is narrow so a coat or jacket sits over it without pulling.
That makes it a genuinely useful winter piece rather than a decorative one. Under a wool coat it adds a windproof insulating layer across your core, which is where warmth matters most, without any of the bulk a jumper would add at the shoulder.
The diamond quilting
Quilting stitches through the leather and the padding on a diamond grid. Its purpose is functional — padding that is not held in place migrates and clumps, and every insulated garment worth owning is quilted for that reason. The visual pattern is a by-product, though it is a good one, because the grid catches light differently across each panel.
Quilting leather is harder than quilting fabric: every needle line is permanent, so the grid has to run true from the first stitch. A diamond pattern that drifts even slightly shows across a whole panel.
Details
100% real leather shell. Neckline finished flat rather than with a collar, so nothing interferes with a coat collar over it. Armholes bound rather than left raw. Front fastening kept low-profile so it does not print through an outer layer.
Fit and styling
Slim layering fit. Take your normal size over a shirt or fine knit. Quilted panels have slightly less give than plain leather, so do not size down; go up if a thick jumper is going underneath.
Under a wool or leather coat in winter, over a knit with jeans in autumn, or on its own with long sleeves on a mild day. Black keeps it invisible under anything. See the rest of our Women Leather Vests, our Women Leather Jackets, or Women Leather Shirts to wear underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as your other quilted gilet?
Same quilting technique, cut slimmer and finished specifically to layer under a coat rather than to be worn as the outer piece.
Is it really 100% leather?
The shell is 100% real leather. The padding and lining behind it are textile, as on any quilted garment.
Will it show under a coat?
No. The neckline is flat, the fastening is low profile and the padding is light, so it does not print through an outer layer.
How warm is it?
Warm and windproof across the core. It is a layering piece rather than a standalone winter coat.
What size should I order?
Your normal size over a shirt or fine knit, one up for a thick jumper. Do not size down, as quilted panels have less give.
How long until it arrives?
It is made to order and quilting adds time. Free shipping is included and tracking is emailed on dispatch.
How do I care for it?
Dry cloth only, hang rather than fold. Never machine wash or dry clean a quilted leather garment.
