The Groundsman's Gilet

Official Staff Issue / Est. 1877
£95

Standard issue for early starts and late finishes at the Grove. Sherpa-lined for the cold mornings when the frost sits on the outfield and the citrus needs checking before first light. The Absolute Jaffa crest sits on the left chest. Every role at the estate gets the same gilet, because when the temperature drops, rank means nothing.
