Kiton Burgundy Cashmere Silk Gilet - Handmade Italian Vest

Kiton Burgundy Cashmere Silk Gilet Cardigan

This Kiton gilet cardigan represents the pinnacle of Italian luxury knitwear, crafted from an exceptional blend of 80% cashmere and 20% silk. The burgundy colorway delivers sophisticated depth while maintaining versatility across formal and smart-casual wardrobes.

Premium Material Composition

The cashmere-silk blend provides exceptional softness and warmth without bulk. Cashmere offers natural insulation and breathability, while silk adds a smooth finish and subtle sheen. This 80/20 ratio maximizes comfort and durability, ensuring the gilet maintains its shape and luxurious hand feel through extended wear.

Italian Craftsmanship

100% handmade in Italy, this Kiton piece exemplifies meticulous construction standards. The regular fit accommodates layering over dress shirts or fine-gauge sweaters, making it adaptable for transitional seasons and temperature-controlled environments. The sleeveless design provides core warmth while maintaining arm mobility.

Versatile Layering Solution

The gilet cardigan format bridges the gap between sweaters and traditional cardigans. Wear it over crisp Oxford shirts for business-casual settings, layer under sport coats for added warmth, or pair with fine knitwear for refined weekend styling. The burgundy tone complements navy, grey, cream, and earth-toned wardrobes.

Fit and Sizing

Available in sizes 48-56 EU, the gilet features a regular cut that accommodates various body types. Detailed measurements are provided below to ensure proper fit across shoulders, chest, and length. The sleeveless construction eliminates concerns about sleeve length while maintaining proportional coverage.

Care and Longevity

As with all cashmere-silk garments, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain fiber integrity and color vibrancy. Proper care ensures this investment piece remains a wardrobe staple for years, with cashmere naturally becoming softer with wear.
