Gran Sasso double-breasted gilet
This time taking a look of Gran Sasso double-breasted herringbone cotton gilet I got from Vaatturiliike Sauma after getting back from Pitti Uomo and that I was wearing as we visited in Jyväskylä during the weekend.
I had actually had my eyes on the gilet since I saw it for the first last January at Pitti Uomo 85 and after it came to the selection at Sauma last fall. For the first time wear I actually had to borrow the gilet from Tuomo of Sauma as I needed something to wear for the third day of Pitti this time. You can see me wearing it at this video by Helsingin Sanomat that was recorded in Florence. In case you haven't yet read the article, make sure you do.

How to wear a gilet
This kind of a gilet is - in my opinion - actually quite a versatile piece - as it can be worn casually with denim and some knitwear as I have done here but at the same time it is smart and chic enough so that one can wear it over a sport coat or even with a suit.
For colder months of the year it is good to wear as a layer under your overcoat to bring a little bit warmth and as the weather starts to warm up - it can be worn just on its own over a sweater to replace your jacket.
The gilet is made in Italy (as all Gran Sasso garments) of 100% cotton featuring a subtle herringbone texture and 6x2 buttoning. There are two patch pockets and even though the gilet also features a breast-pocket - a pocket square is not needed, at least in case you are wearing it casually as done here.
