How to Style the Torr Wool Gilet & Flannel Shirts - Four Ways to Wear It
One Gilet.
Six Shirts.
Endless Ways to Layer.
How to wear the Torr Wool Gilet and Flannel Shirts for every occasion — from early morning walks to Friday evenings at the pub.
Some pieces earn a permanent place in your wardrobe by doing one thing quietly, consistently well. The Torr Wool Gilet is that kind of piece. Two years in development, built around our own specially developed Tech Wool fabric — 60% wool for natural warmth and breathability, blended for durability — it's a gilet designed to be worn for years, not seasons.
Pair it with any of our six Flannel Shirts — four colourways of the Brae and two of the Munro — and you have a combination that moves effortlessly between a Highland morning and a Friday evening. Below, we've put together four ways to wear it. Use one look, or use all four.
The Key Pieces
Meet the Torr & the Flannel Range
Torr Wool Gilet
£185.00 — Peat
Two years in development. Our own Tech Wool blend — 60% wool, engineered for longevity without losing the feel of real wool. Three YKK Vislon zip pockets, custom logo zip pulls, and a contrast brushed-cotton inner neck. The only gilet you'll need.
Brae Flannel Shirt
£96.00 20% off when buying 2+
100% brushed cotton in a classic Ghillie check. Hidden button-down collar, built-in sunglass holder, and a microfibre lens cloth under the hem. Designed for the riverbank, the hillside, and everywhere in between.
Munro Flannel Shirt
£96.00 20% off when buying 2+
The cleaner, more minimalist flannel. Same premium brushed cotton as the Brae but with contrast drill-cotton detailing, deep pleated chest pockets, and a versatile solid palette that works as well in a town as it does on a hill.

Morning on the Hill
There's a very specific kind of cold that comes with an autumn or winter morning walk — not cold enough for a heavy jacket, but more than enough to make you grateful for a thoughtful mid-layer. The Torr Gilet in Peat over the Brae Flannel in Marine is the natural pairing here — the deep blue-green check sits warmly against the earthy peat, and the hidden button-down collar holds its shape cleanly above the gilet's neckline whatever the weather throws at it.
Add a pair of moleskin trousers or waxed cords, a sturdy pair of Derby or Chelsea boots, and you're set from the car park to the summit and straight to the pub afterwards without changing a thing.
- Torr Wool Gilet — Peat
- Brae Flannel Shirt — Marine
- Waxed cotton or moleskin trousers
- Derby boots or rubber-soled brogues
- Merino base layer underneath on colder days
- Highlander Beanie in Charcoal Grey — £10
The Brae's built-in sunglass holder on the left chest pocket isn't just practical — it's a small detail that makes the shirt genuinely useful outdoors. Keep a pair of polarised lenses in there and you'll never be searching for them in your pack again.

Friday Evening, Effortlessly Done
The Torr Gilet has a quietly formal quality to it — the structured Tech Wool and clean silhouette read as considered rather than purely functional. Zip it over the Munro Flannel in Rifle Green with the collar left open and you hit the sweet spot between casual and pulled-together that works for a village pub, a relaxed dinner, or an evening with friends.
Keep the palette tonal — Rifle Green against Peat is a natural pairing that needs very little else. Dark denim or slim cord trousers, Chelsea boots in tan or dark brown, and you're done. The Munro's contrast drill-cotton detailing adds just enough interest without competing for attention.
- Torr Wool Gilet — Peat
- Munro Flannel Shirt — Rifle Green
- Dark slim denim or grey cord trousers
- Chelsea boots — tan or dark brown leather
- Simple leather belt to anchor the look
Half-tuck the Munro at the front only. It creates a relaxed polish that reads as intentional — smart enough for dinner, casual enough that you're not overdressed for the pub.

The Everyday Layer
If you split your time between a desk, the outside world, and everything in between, you need pieces that adapt without fuss. The Torr Gilet is light enough to throw on over a shirt and forget about — it regulates temperature naturally, doesn't crease badly, and looks just as appropriate stepping out for a coffee as it does at a standing desk.
Pair it with the Brae Flannel in Raven or the cooler-toned Munro in Seastorm for an everyday look that's grounded and versatile without trying too hard. Chinos or relaxed tailored trousers, clean trainers or suede loafers, and you're set.
- Torr Wool Gilet — Peat
- Brae Flannel — Raven or Munro — Seastorm
- Slim chinos or relaxed tailored trousers
- Clean leather trainers or suede loafers
- White or oatmeal crew-neck tee underneath (optional)
- Tarvie Cap for weekends — from £25
Wool's natural antibacterial properties mean the Torr looks after itself — air it between wears. For everyday use you'll need to dry clean it far less often than you might expect.
Travel Light
Weekend Away · Travel · Adventure
Pack Less. Look Better.
When every piece in your bag needs to earn its place, the Torr Gilet is a clear choice. It folds down small, adds almost no weight, and replaces a heavier jacket in most autumn and spring conditions. Pair it with the Brae Flannel in Offshore — the lighter blue-grey check travels exceptionally well, resisting creasing and sitting comfortably in everything from a Scottish bothy weekend to a city break.
One pair of dark jeans, mid-height boots, and a simple base layer. That's three full days of looks, no repeat outfits, no overweight bag. Wool's natural temperature regulation means you'll stay comfortable moving between cold exteriors and warm interiors without constantly adding and removing layers.
- Torr Wool Gilet — Peat (folds flat, packs easily)
- Brae Flannel — Offshore
- Dark slim jeans — one versatile pair
- Mid-height boots (leather for evenings, rubber sole for day)
- Torrish Trucker Cap — £25
- Trail Socks Multi Pack — £18
Wear the gilet as your outer layer through airports and stations — you won't overheat in warm terminals or feel cold outside. It's one of the Torr's most underrated qualities.
The Method
How to Layer the Torr
Start light
A simple cotton tee or merino base layer underneath the flannel. Keeps things breathable and adds warmth on colder days without bulk.
Add the flannel
Brae or Munro — both are cut to layer neatly under the gilet, with collars and cuffs that sit cleanly above the zip line.
Layer the Torr
Zip the Torr Gilet fully for warmth, or wear it open over the flannel for a relaxed layered look. Both work equally well.
Add an outer if needed
The Torr sits cleanly under the Corrie Down Jacket — making it a genuine four-season layering system for variable British conditions.
