Baby Boys' Gilets
A baby boys' gilet keeps his chest and back warm without bulky sleeves, so it is quicker to get on and off a wriggling baby. The sizes run from newborn to 24 months. On mild autumn and spring days a gilet goes over a jumper or long-sleeved top. When it turns cold, it works as an extra layer under a coat. His arms stay free for crawling, reaching and first steps.
Gilet and body warmer mean the same thing: a baby boys' body warmer is a sleeveless jacket worn over other layers. Pick his usual size, or go one size up if you want room over a thick jumper. A baby boy gilet for 9-12 months is 80 cm. Washing instructions vary by fabric, so check the care label on the product page before the first wash.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's Baby Boys' Gilets collection has sleeveless baby boy gilet styles for ages 0 to 24 months, sized in centimetres, and a 3- to 6-month-old usually takes 68 cm.
What size gilet does a baby boy of 12-18 months need?
A baby boy of 12 to 18 months usually takes 86 cm. If he is tall for his age or close to 18 months, 92 cm (18-24 months) gives more room over a jumper and should last into the next season.
When should a baby boy wear a gilet instead of a coat?
A gilet suits mild days of around 10 to 15°C, worn over a long-sleeved top and jumper. When it is colder than that, put it under a coat or pramsuit as an extra layer, because his arms are not covered.
