Quilted Jacket Guide & How To Buy One

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive overview of quilted jackets, covering their construction, history dating back to the Middle Ages, and modern development by Steve Guylas in the mid-20th century. They explain the practical benefits of quilting—lightweight insulation through trapped air chambers—and guide viewers on styling, fit, color options, and brand recommendations for purchasing quilted jackets.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team explains that quilting consists of two fabric layers held together by stitched rows, often with padding material between them, creating lightweight insulation through trapped air chambers
• The Gazette team notes that the modern quilted jacket was invented by Steve Guylas, originally inspired by horse blankets, and classic colors are navy and pale olive green
• The Gazette team recommends sizing quilted jackets based on actual measurements rather than standard sizing, as Italian-made versions tend to be slimmer than English-made ones, and they should fit slightly shorter than a peacoat
