There is a particular kind of morning in this country where a coat feels too much and a jacket feels too little. The Conor fills that gap rather well. The padded insulation keeps the core warm without adding bulk, the high collar takes the edge off the wind, and the zip pockets mean you can leave the house without thinking twice about where you put your keys. Five colours, each one easy to wear with whatever is already hanging in the wardrobe.

WHY MEN CHOOSE THE CONOR PADDED GILET

• Padded Insulation Without the Bulk - The lightweight padding keeps the core warm throughout the day without making you look like you are wearing something inflatable. You can wear it under a coat or on its own and neither looks wrong.
• High Collar That Actually Does Something - The collar sits high enough to protect the neck from the wind, which on a crisp British morning is not a small thing. It also gives the whole piece a smarter, more structured appearance.
• Five Colours, Deep Zip Pockets - Blue, black, red, beige and green. Each one works with more outfits than you might expect. The zip pockets are deep enough to be genuinely useful rather than decorative.
