Faux Fur Gilets - crap/not crap

[DaveCinzano]

I'm going to take it back and swap it for some boots. Thanks for your support

Photos first!

It looks like it's made out of owls.

You are absolutely correct. I know it isn't though, which is what makes me like it. Sort of. I like the feathery lookthing but can't help thinking boots are definitely the better option. Good work @5t3lla.

gilets, faux fur or otherwise, are often worn by posh girls in the home counties. Hence my reservation... just a wee bit West London IMO (sorry zenie... but you are properly cool so can probably get away with it.)

Wise choice. I got a fur gilet from the chazza and it sat in the wardrobe for 2 years. Then it went back to the chazza.

mnnn.

gilets are really unflattering unless you're quite slim to begin with.

if you are (quite slim to begin with), the bulky furriness makes your arms look gamine and waif-like by comparison.

Otherwise, they add bulk to your torso, disguise the waist and add matronly shapelessness to the boobage.

I want the opposite. something with arms and bare neckline coverage. Exactly what a gilet doesn't do.

I felt like Gossamer in mine

I had a gilet in the 90s.

Isn't a faux fur gilet just a polyester bodywarmer?

Do you have a pair of Dubarry's?

Well, middle aged home counties more than Chelsea girl

My daughter has a white, shaggy fake fur gilet. I hated it when she inherited it, but she looks completely adorable in it

chelsea girls are often dressed in denial about their future as middle aged home counties mums...

Hopefully - as soon as we are deemed worthy enough for a tube station.

 

[Clair De Lune]

I quite like it

How to stop people stroking you though? Avoid people on mdma ffs!

I have one now but it's black, down, and says "North Face" on the label.

my ambition was to get a gilet - i thought I'd start small, then work up to major subterranean tunneling.

some fake fur is made of plastic based polymers, which are derivatives of crude oil. So in fact your gilet may have required hydralic fracturing.

Am I stretching a point, much?

I'm reknowned in the gilet world for my hydraulically fractured outerwear - in fact, i'd be ashamed to be seen in anything less.
