Product description

Inspired by the 1980s Alpini officers’ gilet, the DAHU Gilet is a contemporary reinterpretation of a classic Alpine tradition. Crafted from soft yet durable cotton fustagno in a fresh green shade reminiscent of spring mountain streams, it features premium Merino wool cloth trims sourced from Biella, Italy’s wool heartland.

Designed for comfort and resilience, this versatile gilet is lined with breathable cotton. It features multiple pockets, making it perfect to wear under a jacket or layer over a shirt or sweater.

The women’s version includes a practical waist drawstring and a soft wool collar, adding a refined touch of elegance. The embroidered Valle Cervo emblem on the chest proudly honors the rugged alpine land and culture that inspire the design.

A perfect blend of functionality, style, and deep-rooted heritage.

Why Valle Cervo?

Some places are able to take your breath away—suspended in time, wrapped in silence, where only the wind weaving through the trees speaks. Valle Cervo is one of those places: ancient, wild, and deeply alive. It is more than our home—it is our muse.

In these forests and alpine valleys, tradition breathes through every stone, and folklore lingers in the mists. Myths, ancestral rituals, and nature's rhythms inspire our designs, echoing the quiet strength and poetry of the land. Each piece we create carries the imprint of this sacred landscape—a blend of memory, mystery, and craftsmanship.

Fabrics

This fabric combines the rugged utility of traditional cotton fustagno with the refined touch of wool cloth trims, creating a textile that is both tactile and resilient—ideally suited for transitional wear and functional tailoring. With deep roots in Alpine workwear, fustagno is a dense, brushed cotton twill known for its hardwearing structure, natural warmth, and distinctive soft finish.

The tightly woven construction offers outstanding abrasion resistance, making it well-suited for outerwear or layering garments where both durability and comfort are essential. The brushed surface enhances its thermal properties, providing gentle insulation while remaining breathable and flexible for everyday movement.

Complementing the fustagno base is a selection of premium wool cloth trims, chosen not for fineness but for their structural integrity and textural richness. These wool accents add a subtle contrast in feel and tone, reflecting a tradition of combining materials for both functionality and aesthetic depth.

The fabric's natural green hue, inspired by spring alpine terrain, adds a visual signature to its performance pedigree—bringing together earthy elegance and timeless utility.
