Collection: WAISTCOATS + VESTS

Waistcoats + gilets for children and babies

A waistcoat keeps the upper body warm and leaves the arms free. Children who climb and play appreciate that, and in the pram or carrier a gilet often replaces a bulky jacket on mild days. Most of the designs in this collection are knitted from wool.

Knitted waistcoats from Hvid

The largest share comes from Hvid, a brand that knits with merino wool. You can choose between the Kids Vest Harvey and the Strickpullunder Vest Harvey knitted tank, both in colours such as Sand, Lilac, Light Yellow, Artichoke or Cream with red. The tank also comes in Mocha and in Cream with lilac.

Merino, teddy + fleece

BINIBAMBA offers the Merino Weste in Milk and Bruno, plus a merino waistcoat made together with Organic Zoo in Peanut. From Wollbebi come the Wollweste Teddy Kids and the AMORE wool waistcoat in Kastanie. The Weste Teddy Boucle is the fluffy option, the Fleece Vest in Bark is made for outdoors, and there are also the Amos Folk Gilet and the Lurex Waistcoat with shimmering yarn. Our guide merino wool or cotton explains which suits your child better.

Waistcoats for layering

A waistcoat comes into its own as a middle layer over a bodysuit or longsleeve and under a jacket. Our article on the layering principle shows how to dress your child in layers in winter. You'll find matching knitted jackets under cardigans + jackets.
