Men vest unlined

A casual cut and a fabric with a pronounced "used look" characterize this collarless and unlined vest. The fabric is made of half durable, cooling linen and half skin-friendly cotton. The vest is worked in the back with a longitudinal split seam, a buttonable bar allows a moderate width adjustment. Inside, the seams are neatly piped. Three patch pockets hold small items for everyday use. A small note: The distinctive lapel pin with the label's signet is removable.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
