4B W5357 Gilet Over Asymmetric Unlined Mesh - Black Unisex Vest

Asymmetry as Architecture

The 4B W5357 is a vest that doesn't follow rules. LA HAINE INSIDE US cuts this over-sized gilet asymmetrically from an 80% polyester / 20% cotton mesh — unlined, open, and deliberately unresolved at the hem. The result is a layering piece that adds volume and graphic interest without weight, and wears differently depending on how you style it.

Why This Vest Is Different

• Asymmetric Cut: The hem drops unevenly by design — a deliberate structural choice that creates movement and visual tension in a single layer.
• Mesh Construction: 80% polyester / 20% cotton mesh is lightweight, breathable, and semi-transparent — it layers over anything without adding bulk.
• Over Silhouette: Oversized through the body for a relaxed, enveloping fit that works across genders and body types.
• Unlined: No lining means maximum breathability and a raw, unconstructed aesthetic — the mesh is the statement.
• Unisex Cut: Designed to be worn by anyone — the oversized proportions adapt to different bodies without compromise.
• Black Colorway: A single, uncompromising black that makes the mesh texture and asymmetric hem the focal point.
• Made in Italy: Designed and produced in Italy — precision in an apparently effortless piece.

Unisex Size Chart

Oversized unisex fit. Women typically size down one size; men wear true to size or size up for a more relaxed drape.

The Moment You Put It On

The mesh is lighter than you expect. It falls over the shoulders and drops unevenly at the hem — one side longer, the other cut away — and the asymmetry creates movement even when you're standing still. Over a black bodysuit it reads as a second skin with texture. Over a white shirt it becomes a graphic layer that reframes everything beneath it.

This is a piece that works hardest when you stop thinking about it. Throw it on, let the proportions do the work, and move.

The Art of Mesh

Mesh is a fabric defined by its absence — the open weave creates a textile that is simultaneously present and transparent. LA HAINE INSIDE US uses an 80/20 polyester-cotton blend that gives the mesh its structure and slight opacity while remaining breathable and lightweight. The cotton content softens the hand-feel; the polyester ensures the mesh holds its shape and the asymmetric hem stays intentional rather than accidental. In black, the mesh reads as texture rather than transparency — graphic, not revealing.

How to Wear It

• Total Black: Over a black bodysuit and wide-leg trousers — the mesh adds a layer of texture to a monochrome base.
• Contrast Layer: Over a white or ecru fitted shirt — the black mesh creates a graphic overlay against the light base.
• Unisex Street: Over a heavyweight tee with cargo trousers and chunky boots — the asymmetric hem adds editorial edge to a relaxed base.
• Minimal Evening: Over a slip dress or satin top — the mesh vest as a lightweight, textural alternative to a jacket.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash or delicate machine wash at 30°C
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry
• Do not iron directly on mesh — steam if needed
• Do not bleach
• Store flat to preserve the asymmetric hem shape
