-BV Grey-brown Full Knit Collared Jacket
There isn’t a single part of this jacket that isn’t made from knitting. From the front to the back, and from the sleeves to the collar, the entire jacket is constructed from thin, grey-brown leather strips interlaced together. At first glance, it appears to be a plain-colored short jacket, but upon closer inspection, one can see the dense diamond-shaped patterns on the surface—each pattern consists of one leather strip pressing against another. The craftsmanship is so precise that any breaks or irregularities in the pattern are barely visible.
The grey-brown leather is fully knitted, with each strip having a smooth surface. The smooth leather has subtle gloss variations at different angles, preventing the jacket from appearing too dull or flat. The overall thickness of the jacket is moderate, providing a comfortable fit without being rigid. When worn, there’s a natural sense of weight behind the body. The color is a mix of grey and brown, with a slight hint of warmth in the grey tone. It looks more grey from a distance, but turns brown as you get closer. It’s a very balanced, neutral color.
The knitted leather surface is formed into one piece, with no seams visible. The collar height is appropriate, fitting the neck without being tight. When the zipper is closed, the collar naturally closes, creating a slightly raised collared look. The knitted patterns at the collar fold seamlessly, reflecting high craftsmanship standards.
There’s a silver metal zipper along the front, running from the collar to the bottom. The zipper head is a rectangular silver metal piece with the words “BOTTEGA VENETA” engraved on it. The zipper teeth are silver, creating a contrast with the grey-brown knitted leather. The knitted patterns on both sides of the zipper are perfectly symmetrical. There’s a vertical pocket on each side of the front, with the edges of the pockets being naturally folded from the knitted leather, without any additional hardware.
The cuffs aren’t made of leather, but rather from grey-brown knit ribbed material. This creates a contrast between the smooth texture of the knitted leather and the soft yet structured feel of the ribbed material. The ribbed cuffs are elastic, fitting well around the wrists without being too tight. The color of the cuffs matches the grey-brown tone of the knitted leather, with a subtle shade difference.
The hem also features grey-brown knit ribbed material, complementing the cuffs. The elasticity is moderate, with a natural curve towards the waistline, avoiding any loose or flared appearance.
In the center of the back, there’s a horizontal seam that goes over the shoulders, located near the scapulae. The knitting direction above and below the seam remains consistent, with the patterns continuing seamlessly. The back has no zippers, pockets, or any other hardware. It’s simply a blank surface of knitted leather, looking like a carefully crafted canvas.
The interior is lined with black satin, which is smooth and comfortable against the skin. This contrasts with the rough texture of the outer knitted surface, creating a “rough on the outside, smooth on the inside” experience. There’s a white label on the inner side of the collar, bearing the words “BOTTEGA VENETA” and “MADE IN ITALY”.
The jacket has a short silhouette, with the length reaching up to the waistline. The shoulders are dropped, creating a natural sense of shoulder stacking. The sleeves are straight, with little change in width from the shoulders to the cuffs. Overall, the jacket is comfortable but not too loose.
There’s no logo on the jacket at all. All identification comes from those knitted patterns that cover the entire garment. Craftsmanship itself is a form of branding, representing BV’s ultimate expression of style.
