Women’s lightweight down vest designed for everyday layering
This is my 3rd MOKI packable down vest, I just love the colour range, and versatility of MOKI packable down vests and jackets.
I also have MOKI rain coats and a gorgeous lined hooded jacket.
Awesome products, very well designed and wear well and so easy to keep clean.

Very professional experience from order (straightforward) to delivery (quick). I’ve had a Moke raincoat for several years and it looks as good today as the day I bought it. The vest looks to be of similar quality, a lovely shade, good cut and very versatile. An excellent product.
Love everything about my new sleeveless jacket. Feminine shape that is flattering, shaping the body vs a square or more rectangular cut. The deep blue material is luminescent. Very attractive.
Delivery was super-fast. Vest is thick and feels expensive. Fits true to size. Good value for money. I will probably buy another one in a different colour.
Moke is so beautiful, light but warm. I have two new vests and the new coat I brought while over on holiday and absolutely love them. I live in Perth and find they are perfect in the winter here as well. I brought a black coat, Moke, about ten years ago from a store in Ashburton, and it’s still going strong. Love your products. Thank you 🙏
After ordering the wrong size Vest, you made it so easy to return and exchange for the correct size.
I just love my Vest, it's so comfortable, warm and easy to wear.
Thanks so much
Fabulous find. Quality, fit is true to size, website really helpful with models wearing different sizes. Efficient delivery, kept up to date at all times.
I love this vest because it is a bit longer, slim fitting and has a hood. It also has roomy pockets. I have only had it a week and already it has become my winter uniform
Love my new Moke Chocolate Vest.
The longer length is perfect. The extra warmth without having to wear a jacket makes outdoor activities much easier.
Fantastic efficient service, thank you.
Love the Mary Claire vest so much I know have 2. I am a more substanial woman and the 3XL vest fits amazingly AND I am comfortable to zip it right up!! I don't feel all bulky and I open pair it up with my long Moke Arnie coat. So snuggly and warm!
Some pieces look good online, then barely get worn. Mary-Claire is the opposite. It is the one you keep by the door, throw in the car, pack for weekends away, and reach for when you want an easy extra layer that does not feel bulky or heavy.
It works because it fits into real life. Pull it on over a long sleeve on chilly mornings, wear it casually through the weekend, or layer it under a jacket when the temperature drops. It is sporty, relaxed, flattering, and genuinely useful, which is why so many women come back for a new colour.
New season colours are released in limited runs and tend to sell quickly each year. If you have your eye on one, it is worth securing it before your size disappears.
Mary-Claire vs ordinary vests
What makes it worth buying
What matters
Mary-Claire by Moke
Ordinary winter vest
How it sits on the body
Yes Quilting and shape help define the waist instead of making you look boxy
Can feel straight up and down with less shape through the body
Coverage
Yes Gives that bit of extra back and bum coverage that feels good with leggings, jeans and casual pants
Can sit shorter and feel less practical for everyday wear
Weight
Yes Lightweight and easy to wear without feeling heavy or cumbersome
Can feel puffier, bulkier or more annoying to keep on
Layering flexibility
Yes Easy over a long sleeve and easy under a jacket when it gets colder
Often works for only one kind of layering situation
Usefulness for weekends and travel
Yes Packs down easily and earns its place for trips, walks and casual days out
Often takes up more space or gets left behind
Easy care
Yes Easy to wash, easy to freshen up, and keeps looking ready to wear
Can feel fussier to maintain between wears
How often you actually reach for it
Yes High wear potential because it is casual, flattering and genuinely handy
Can end up sitting in the wardrobe more than expected
Why it becomes a favourite
Made for casual trans seasonal dressing that still feels flattering
Shape without the boxiness
The stitching helps create shape through the waist, so it feels more flattering and feminine than a lot of bulkier vests.
Easy over, easy under
Throw it over a long sleeve tee for everyday warmth, or layer it under a jacket when the weather turns colder.
Perfect for weekends
This is the kind of layer that works for errands, coffee walks, sport sideline mornings, travel and casual winter days out.
