Gran Sasso Knitted Shirt Jacket Beige

A beige shirt jacket in a ribbed knit, with a shirt collar and horn-look buttons down the front. Horn-look buttons have the mottled look of natural horn. An overshirt sits between a shirt and a jacket: buttoned up it wears like a shirt, open it works as a light top layer.

It combines the structure of an overshirt with the softness of knitwear, so it looks put together without feeling stiff. A rib knit has raised vertical lines; they give texture and a natural stretch, so the knit follows the body without clinging. Gran Sasso, the family company from Abruzzo that has made knitwear since 1952, produces its collections in Italy.

Wear it open over a white T-shirt or a fine knit, with chinos or flannel trousers. Beige pairs easily with navy, brown and white; try it over the navy crew neck sweater. It comes in Italian sizes 46 to 54; take your usual size.
