The 'Sugar' Gillet - Luxury Hand-Knitted Wool waistcoat in Italian 100% Wool
Description
Hand-knitted in 100% premium Italian wool, the Sugar Waistcoat is defined by its interplay of colour and texture. A fur-stitch technique creates depth, dimension, and softness - graphic in pattern, yet fluid in hand.
Modern and art-inspired, it is both sculptural and effortless. A statement gilet that elevates pared-back minimal looks, while adding presence to contemporary layering.
Light yet warm, the Sugar Waistcoat is a trans-seasonal piece - versatile, tactile, and unmistakably individual.
- MULTI COLOURED navy/camel/peach/ sage/ lemon/light blue/ red
- 100 % PURE ITALIAN WOOL
- DIMENSIONS: length 52 cm x width 46 cm - each waistcoat will have slight variations as they are hand made. The measurements are taken from the inside of the waistcoat. Expect the overall measurements to be a few centimeters bigger due the the dense fur stitch

Care Instructions
How do I clean my ASME knitwear ?
Asme knitwear is crafted by hand from the finest natural yarns. To preserve the integrity of the fibres and the structure of the knit, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. Do not wash by hand or machine - these pieces are too delicate for water.
To freshen between cleans, hang the knitwear over a chair in a steamy shower room and allow the fibres to revive naturally.
How do I care for my asme knitwear ?
To preserve the shape and softness of your Asme knitwear, fold and store it flat. Avoid contact with jewellery that may catch on the yarn.
All Asme knitwear is shipped in a protective dust bag - designed to safeguard the natural fibres, to be kept in and treasured. For long-term care, store knitwear in airtight containers to protect against moths and ensure its longevity.
How do I groom my Asme Knitwear ?
Gently tease the fur stitch with your fingers, smoothing the yarn in a downward direction. Over time, fibres may stretch and gather at the tips; if needed, use a small, sharp pair of scissors to lightly trim the ends and restore freshness

Sourcing & Materials
100% Natural Materials
At Asme, quality begins with natural materials. We work exclusively with the finest Italian yarns - cashmere, silk, and wool - chosen for their beauty, breathability, and renewable nature. Unlike synthetics such as polyester, polyamide, or acrylic, which are derived from petrochemicals much like plastic, natural fibres offer comfort, longevity, and an inherent luxury. Our commitment to natural yarns ensures that each piece is not only sustainable, but also defined by texture, depth, and enduring quality.
Packaging
Each ASME piece is carefully wrapped in tissue, placed in a reusable Asme dust bag, and shipped in eco-friendly, fully compostable mailers. Designed to protect natural fibres while reducing environmental impact, our sustainable packaging ensures your knitwear arrives safely without excess waste - luxury with conscience.
Ethical Production
Asme is committed to sustainable luxury knitwear, created slowly and with intention. Each design is hand-knitted in limited quantities, ensuring quality over mass production. By producing only what is needed, we minimise waste, reduce overproduction, and honour the value of natural materials and time. For Asme, sustainability is not a trend but a practice — a philosophy of conscious luxury defined by restraint, responsibility, and longevity.
