Unwanted gilet

My partner has bought me a gilet. It is too big, navy padded and the kind of thing his Mother might wear.
He says I can wear it when I am wfh to keep warm in winter.
I won't be wearing it. He is hurt that I am not gushing with gratitude.
I have told him he should send it back.
He reckons it was expensive but will be some bargain he has seen online.
AIBU to not fake gratitude for something I didn't ask for or want?

Did you comment a lot last winter about been cold ?
I know they are not to everyone's taste but they are generally warm and comfortable so I'd give it a go once it starts getting cold.

Maybe he was just trying to be nice?

Is it a sneaky hint he is in love with his own mother?

Only if she has to wear it to bed

I'd assume it's a PA comment about your use of the heating

Is it a sneaky hint that he thinks you use the heating too much?
