Blue denim at its most versatile. This men's blue faded distressed denim gilet is built from quality mid-weight denim with an earned, broken-in fade — and it serves as the base garment for the Skinner & Vale 3D Jacket Customiser. Wear it plain, or build something singular through the customiser before it ships.

Fabric: Mid-weight blue faded denim — natural indigo fade, surface distressing applied to give depth and character from first wear
Silhouette: Sleeveless gilet cut, clean through the shoulder, relaxed through the body — works over a tee or under a heavier overshirt across seasons
Fastening: Button fastening, full front closure
Customisation: This is a base garment for the Skinner & Vale 3D Jacket Customiser — add studs, patches, paint, chain hardware or embroidery before checkout and receive the finished piece direct
Care: Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle — do not tumble dry at high heat. Customised pieces carry specific care instructions for their embellishments
Made in the UK

Classic blue denim, made to carry whatever you put on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this available as a plain gilet without customisation?
A: Yes — the blue faded distressed base ships as-is if you prefer a clean, unembellished piece. The distressing and fade give it character on its own.

Q: What's the difference between this and the black version?
A: The cut and construction are identical. The blue version has a classic indigo denim palette — it pairs naturally with neutral tones or brighter embellishments. The black reads more subdued and pairs well with silver or bronze hardware if customised.

Q: How does the gilet fit across the shoulders?
A: The shoulder seams are set for a standard UK men's fit — structured through the shoulder, not dropped. If you wear a regular fit jacket in your size, select the same size here.
