Description

The De Bonne Facture Undyed Wool Check Camargue Vest is part of a soft tailoring collection inspired by Carl Sagan's academic style as a professor, explorer, and scientist representing the numerous experts and visionaries who have fought for the future of our ecosystem. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Vest is made from ethically sourced mulesing-free 100% Scottish True Shetland Wool milled to a substantial and flexible 14 oz. Sonsie Tweed Twill by Scotland's Lovat® Mill, established in 1826. This woolen uses completely undyed shear colors spun into yarns and woven to recreate an archived pattern that boasts palette and style versatility from fall through spring. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose with details like a nickel snapped front placket, patch front chest, and lower hand pockets, with a herringbone twill lined placket and tailor taped seams for the collar, armholes, and hem providing finished refinement in an unlined garment. Paying homage to the original, this outdoor vest is inspired by those worn for a century in the south of France by cattle, horse, and sheep herders. Being atelier-made in Pantin, France, by outerwear specialist M. Erbas provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship and, when combined with the authenticity of fully traceable natural materials, the yield is an artisan piece for the timeless wardrobe of the contemporary fashion connoisseur. Featuring premium materials and production with an historical approach to a forward-focused look, the Sonsie Undyed Check Camargue Vest will add polished execution to any casual luxury ensemble for the office, event, or excursion.
