how do you say 'gilet'. I've never known. I am reduced to calling them waistcoats or even bodywarmers...

I love those sleveless jackets. Ever since wearing Clothkits 'jerkins' as a child of the 70's. I always have outdoorsy ones made of fleece for keeping warm. But they have never been called 'jerkins' outside of Clothkits. And bodywarmers were padded '80's thingies. They appear to be called 'gilets'.

So, is it gil-et (hard g)
or jill-et
or jill-ay
or gill-ay?

Enlighten me, pleeese, before I make the same fool of myself as I do with other difficult words.
