The Architect Vest | BOUGAINVILLEA

An intense, sun-drenched raspberry tone – inspired by the vivid blossoms that spill boldly over white façades and volcanic stone. Expressive, vibrant, architecturally clear.

The Architect Vest follows one uncompromising idea: reduction.
Inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy of “form follows function”, it deliberately does without pockets and superfluous details. No distraction. No decoration. Just line, proportion and material.

Its purist appearance creates a clean silhouette that works both under a Sacket and over a shirt.

The distinctive zip, also used on our Sackets and Suiddys, runs precisely along the front. It combines technical function with minimalist aesthetics and creates a visual axis – reduced, modern, consistent.

Side adjusters, each with two tagua nut buttons, allow subtle adjustment of the width. This natural material – also known as vegetable ivory – stands for sustainability and fine craftsmanship.

The fine merino loden made from 100% merino wool is woven in Germany’s oldest cloth mill, with more than 350 years of experience, and finished exclusively for Ben Weide. The traditional fulling process gives the fabric structure, softness and durability. Naturally temperature-regulating, breathable and machine washable – modern luxury can be functional.

Inside, the lining made from recycled PET bottles and viscose ensures comfortable wear. The signature red decorative piping on the left side adds a deliberate, recognisable detail.

Bougainvillea is colour with attitude.
The Architect Vest is form with discipline.

Minimalist. Functional. Timeless.
