Women's Monarch Cotton Moleskin Vest - Nightshade - Ridgeline of New Zealand

The Monarch Nightshade women's gilet from Ridgeline of New Zealand revisits traditional cotton moleskin to offer a country garment that is comfortable, warm, durable, and high-performance. Designed with innovative Moleskin Tech-Knit Supreme fabric, it combines the authentic look and feel of moleskin with the performance of a modern technical material.

Since the early 19th century, cotton moleskin has been prized for workwear and country clothing thanks to its tight weave, softness, and high durability. Ridgeline now reinterprets this iconic material with a knitted construction comprising 47% cotton, 7% nylon, and 46% polyester, with a generous weight of 380 gsm.

This Moleskin Tech-Knit Supreme composition improves the performance of traditional moleskin. The fabric offers better resistance, dries faster after exposure to moisture, and provides increased wind protection. For an equivalent weight, it also provides more warmth, making it particularly suitable for outdoor activities and chilly days in the countryside.

The Monarch gilet fully utilizes the qualities of this technical material. Its sleeveless design provides excellent freedom of movement while providing a warm and protective layer. It can be worn alone in mid-season or as an additional layer when temperatures drop.

An ideal women's gilet for country and outdoor pursuits

The Monarch Ridgeline gilet is aimed at women looking for a versatile garment for country life, outdoor work, and outdoor activities. Its Moleskin Tech-Knit Supreme fabric combines the traditional comfort of cotton with the expected performance of a technical garment.

Its sober and easy-to-match Nightshade color naturally integrates into country, hunting, or outdoor attire. This women's moleskin gilet thus offers a technical alternative to traditional gilets, with a material designed to provide warmth, durability, and wind protection.
