Padded Vest

As the name suggests, the Yosemite vest draws inspiration from mountaineering apparel, specifically garments from the 19seven0s and 1980s designed and made for a single function. In the case of this vest, that's to keep the wearer warm. It's therefore crafted using soft goat suede for the exterior paired with a goose down quilted lining and shearling trim collar. Easily worn with our comprehensive range of knitwear, this is a functional utility garment you won't want to take off this season. Like every Valstar jacket and coat, it's 100% Made in Italy by our team of artisans using the same traditional techniques and processes we've mastered over more than a century. The suede used here originates from a tannery that's certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), a prominent international entity that evaluates tanneries' adherence to environmental, social, and governance metrics. This certification underscores the commitment to sustainable and ethical practices in its production.
