RARE Vintage Italian Double-Breasted Waistcoat - Daily Blue - Cotton/Wool Blend

This is a rare and sophisticated vintage double-breasted gilet (waistcoat) from the Italian brand DAILY BLUE. The deep olive green/khaki color and the sharp, tailored fit give it a timeless, luxurious aesthetic that is evocative of classic European menswear, but perfect for a modern, gender-neutral look. This waistcoat is an exceptional layering piece and showcases superb vintage Italian craftsmanship ("Made in Italy"). The fabric has a beautiful texture due to its fine wool-cotton blend, while the two rows of brown buttons and the elegant shawl-collar (reverskraag) give it a truly unique character. This is an ideal statement piece that can be dressed up or worn casually. Material: The shell fabric is a high-quality blend of 55% cotton and 45% wool (lana/wool). This composition ensures a rich structure and breathability, making it suitable for both warmer and colder seasons (perfect for strategic layering). The piece is authentically labeled "Made in Italy". Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition (9/10). The gilet has been well-maintained, all buttons are intact, and the fabric shows no major tears or stains. The internal lining is clean. This is a wonderfully preserved vintage garment. Size/Reference: The label indicates size M, but this piece runs small. It has a very fitted, tailored silhouette. The model in the photos typically wears a size 38 / Medium (M) and the gilet fits them quite snugly, suggesting it is best suited for a modern Small (S) or a very tight Medium.
