On what planet is this a gilet?!

[toodleloooo]

This just came up as a targeted ad. Wtf is it?! The website says a gilet but how? Wondering if it's like one of those puzzles where it suddenly jumps out at you but a good five minutes later I'm still looking at the world's strangest string bikini...

That'll keep you toasty on the chilly mornings.

Looks like a bad sketch of someone wearing a long gilet with only part of one arm shown?

How do you do it up, are those strings meant to tie up in some configuration or just dangle for aesthetics?

I think someone has fucked up on the picture. I can see the shape of it but it looks like they have cut the image out wrongly with magic wand in photoshop. Which surely hasn't happened but it does look like that.

Actually no. The way it looks does match the description..

And why does it have a zip AND button loops? Still not getting any better the more I look 😭

I've had a Google and it is possible it is more of what in the UK would be called a waistcoat. Not entirely sure where it ties though.
