Gilet for those with big bust (not remotely high fashion)!

[Spreadingcomfrey]

Looking for a gilet with a bit of stretch in it at the front (overdid the biscuits during lockdown).

I need it to be very practical, longish , washable, with a bit of give in the nork area.

I'm mid fifties so I'm looking for something classic and practical for mucking out rather than anything fancy with hood and fur ifyswim!

Obviously I''m trying to slim, but in the meantime, does anyone know of any particular brands or makes with stretchy side panels or those that are known for "generosity of bust"? Thanks! . Can't afford those Schoffel ones at £175 either sadly!

Anyone?

Have a look at Shires as they may have something suitable and not expensive. Or one of the large online equestrian stores.

Buy in the men's section.

They have a much bigger selection of everything.

I haven't bought anything vaguely stylish in a female section for years. And male versions are cheaper too. Wonder why.

Thanks that's a good tip Yolio although I wonder if a man's gilet will have enough shaping at the front to accommodate the norkage ifyswim?

Shires do an xxlarge so I will have a look at them again thanks bouncydog but they look quite short ...will investigate

Keep an eye out in Aldi special buys
I have some really nice ones from there, ample for the norkage and stylish but so cheap you can muck out to your hearts content

Thanks nearlyoldenough I'm not in the UK but I think we have an Aldi here; I'll keep an eye out!

Regatta have a sale on at the moment. I have a men's XL which fits nicely over my generous chest 😊

Thank you Coffeebeans I'll have a look!

Give Bravissimo a try, they specifically cater for norkage.

Looks like they have 3 gilets.

Didn't think of Bravissimo! Thanks Yummy!
