What is Selvedge? Tap here to jump to the answer.
Insulated with Yorkshire wool
We’ve always focussed on working locally and using the best quality natural materials. Now we’re bringing much more of this ethos to market with our pioneering use of wool as insulation in our quilted vest.
Above: Photos of our first rolls of HD Wool insulation being made into quilting in Bolton, Lancashire, at Caledonian Quilting.
Chunky and British made double zip.
Merino wool mix ribbed collar. Dropped hem for draught exclusion.
Two large quilted hand warmer pockets as well as two inside chest pockets that will hold a large smart phone.
All our wool can be traced back to the farm it came from and is Woolkeepers® certified. Farmers are paid properly and in turn ensure that regenerative land management is practiced through the Land to Market™ standard.
“Regenerative agriculture has a critical role to play in impacting the climate crisis. We measure outcomes & impact on the environment such as soil health, sequestered carbon, water & biodiversity.”
“We’re using exclusively British wool from HD Wool in our Quilted Vest. They are based locally to us in the historic Salts Mill in Saltaire near Bradford.”
Our wool insulation is fully machine washable.
Because our insulation is 75% wool combined with 25% PLA it’s fine to go in the machine. PLA is compostable, biocompatible, and renewable thermoplastic polyester which is derived from corn starch.
Who layers wins
Wear it over or under your jacket – like our M16 Selvedge Jacket – with just a t-shirt or a big jumper.
Wear it to keep cosy inside. Wear it on its own to show off your muscles. No, definitely don’t do the last one.
What is selvedge?
Selvedge is old-style denim, woven on narrow looms and typically has a more characterful appearance and a higher level of quality than mass-produced denim.
This denim is also made by the world’s most eco denim mill…
Candiani are Italian denim masters. The Quilted Vest is made from Candiani selvedge denim and has the highest environmental credentials.
Environmental sustainability is at the forefront of all stages of production of selvedge denim at Candiani. Using BCI cotton, a micro-plastics free dye process, solar power and water recycling to name some of the process used.
Wash cool at 30. Drip dry is best. SLOW spin if you must. Air dry on a hanger. Don’t tumble dry.

I wasn’t sure I liked this until my wife said it makes me look like Han Solo.
Excellent!

Well my gilet arrived, had it on for two days now. It’s warm fits like a glove and so well made.

Entering my second Winter with BodyWarmer so my review is based on around 18 months of ownership. Now I’m getting old and pathetic o tend to feel the cold more than I used to. So now I wear the Bodywarmer everyday for work. It’s possibly the greatest single item of clothing I’ve ever purchased. Super Comfy, Super Warm and Super Stylish. The pockets are great and also lined, unfortunately the inside of the right hand pocket has started to fray, but gray for keeping your paws warm. Inside pocket fits your phone perfectly, little chance of it falling out. As the collar is low and rounded this item is great to use as a base/intermediate layer under ‘her big coat’ for when it’s cold out. I’ve washed it a good few times, the denim has aged nicely with no signs of any wear and tear.
All told I wouldn’t be without the Bodywarmer now. For me it’s perfect. Tried to add an image but file size is too big.

Can’t wait for this arrive, but I know it will be top notch. All of Hebtoco products are. A very great company

Absolute bargain! I own lots of your kit and love it all, most pieces are priced correctly considering the material quality and the craftsmanship, but this vest really is too cheap, what a quality piece of kit for not a lot of money. It’s warm, comfortable, practical and beautifully made. I bloody love it!

Warm, beautifully made, worn it nearly non-stop, top quality. It all sounds so familiar with the other reviews – Hebtroco must be getting it right – good one lads.

Fucking Love it.
I’ve hardly had this Body Warmer off since October.
Fit is great
It’s really Warm
It’s HebTroCo Top Quality
Makes my Cock Bigger (so I’m told).

This vest is my favourite HebTroCo item so far. Great quality, fit and comfort, and nice and warm. If they ever make a bomber jacket along the same lines I’d be first in the queue! Another excellent garment, and well worth the money.

Looks great, super comfy and made in England with top quality materials. What’s not to love. I love it.
Andy Harris (verified owner) –
Cracking vest, lovely fit and the usual Hebtroco quality. Just need the weather to cool down so I can wear it down the pub.
Dean Cornes (verified owner) –
Missed these first time.
So glad I pulled trigger this this.
Quality looks and feel.
Could well be my new fave slice of hebtro
Pity it’s due to be 40degrees today.

Whilst the nation prepares for an imminent heatwave, I was quick off the mark to buy one of these. Yup, I’m of the generation that would call it a “Body Warmer” and bought one on account of me and the husband heading off to Scotland for a week at the end of the month and thinking a few more layering options would be a sensible idea.
As always, another beautifully made product, top quality. My spiritually Scandinavian soul is hoping for cooler weather soon so I can wear it 24/7. So far; I’ve tried it on and only waltzed around the house with it on top of a football shirt. Looks great as well underneath a rain coat so it’s exactly what I wanted. Thanks for putting a hanging loop in!
