Here is a fantastic lightly padded vest/gilet from luxury Italian brand Fay which is a subsidiary of the Tod's (shoes) Group. This piece is perfect for light layering over a shirt, sweater, and under a jacket or even blazer.
We received a few of these and they may have been a removable part of a coat or jacket as there are two small button-holes - one underneath each arm pit. Regardless they can certainly be worn perfectly as is!
FROM THEIR WEBSITE; The brand’s history dates back to the early 1980s in the US, when Diego and Andrea Della Valle discovered the work jackets worn by the Maine fire department. Realising their potential, they took over the Fay brand, a specialist producer of technical garments for fishermen and firefighters, bringing it to Italy with a very clear idea: to adapt workwear into the urban environment.
Deeply rooted in tradition and timeless elegance, today Fay continues to encapsulate its essence, combining the innovative materials and timeless features synonymous with authentic Italian outerwear: style, excellence and versatility.
