Carpe Diem 2006 Textured Wool Clasped Knit Jacket (L)

Carpe Diem 2006 Textured Wool Clasped Knit Jacket (L)

Charcoal-plum Carpe Diem knit jacket from Work of 2006 , constructed from 100% wool in a dense, tactile knit with contrasting stitch structures across the body, sleeves and shoulders. The high split collar flows into elongated front panels that overlap asymmetrically, creating a long, open neckline and an irregular, wrap-like silhouette. A small metal clasp secures the upper chest, while the extended panels fall freely through the body. The shoulders feature articulated ribbed sections, with the sleeves and torso worked in contrasting vertical and horizontal knit patterns. Notably, this jacket bears a strong resemblance to the L.M. Altieri Work of 2003 clasped knit jacket, despite carrying the Carpe Diem label and dating from three years later. The later example has a more pronounced upper clasp and a different knit composition, making the relationship between the two pieces particularly interesting. Both share a similar silhouette and construction language, although the precise design relationship is unconfirmed. Details: 100% wool, Made in Italy, Work of 2006. Product code: KXJ68-LW01-49. Size: Tagged 6; fits approximately IT 50. A larger tag size than the alternate LM Altieri one, with slightly smaller measurements. Measurements: Shoulder: 47 cm. Pit to pit: 51 cm.
