Founded in 1933, Arnys of Paris was an independent luxury men’s clothier known for its extraordinarily fine products embodying the classic Rive Gauche style, until the maison was acquired by Berluti and ended its business in 2012. Since then Arnys products have become ever more precious and collectible to those who love menswear.

This vest, a crossover between a rustic sleeveless cardigan and a smart tailored waistcoat, is touched with Arnys flair. The fine suede front blends seamlessly to the wool/cashmere/silk knit back, adjustable with a suede half-belt. The rich black background of suede and knit is soberly lighted up by the antiqued brass buttons in the front and brass belt buckle in the back.
