Manìn Gardener Vest – Tobacco Velvet & Liberty Theo

The Manìn Gardener Vest is one of the purest expressions of the brand’s love for gardens and craftsmanship. Unisex and one size, this edition is crafted in Italy from an exquisite Zegna velvet in deep tobacco brown. With its silky, luminous hand, the velvet feels soft, warm and quietly luxurious — the ultimate winter fabric, full of depth and character.
Inspired by traditional gardening waistcoats and transformed into couture, the cut is impeccable: a refined stand collar, an over and architectural fit that honours heritage workwear proportions, and meticulous sartorial construction throughout. Inside, the vest is lined in Liberty Theo — a charming, nostalgic print filled with tiny childlike drawings in soft blues with touches of yellow, adding a hidden note of joy and tenderness close to the body. The horn buttons were personally chosen by Maddalena to harmonise beautifully with the tone of the velvet.
The generous tool pockets have been divided into thoughtful compartments — perfect for books, pencils, chocolate, watercolours or garden secateurs. There is even a hidden pocket, for beloved secrets. Worn over the Manìn Chemise, the collar and balloon sleeves create structure and a whimsical silhouette that feels unmistakably Manìn. And for the most refined winter look, the vest may be paired with the tailored trousers in the same Zegna tobacco velvet, forming a quietly spectacular ensemble.
