The Atelier Vest | MONTALIV

A tone between weathered rock, wild olive groves and sparse landscape. Muted, calm, substantial. Not a fashionable green, but an earthy, architectural colour with character.

The Atelier Vest translates this colour into a clear design language.
Inspired by the atelier as a place of focus and design, it stands for reduction, discipline and a respect for materials. No pockets. No decoration. Just line, proportion and surface.

The precisely cut stand-up collar adds structure and an upright calm. It frames the upper body clearly and creates an architectural silhouette – matter-of-fact and assured.

The central titanium zip, hand-polished and technically precise, forms the structural axis of the vest. Function and design merge into a reduced line of metal – consistent and durable.

Montaliv is especially strong in layering.
Over a light shirt, it creates contrast and depth. Under a Sacket, the colour gives the silhouette structure. Combined with dark shades such as Basalto or Midnight Cove, it creates balance. The Atelier Vest is not an add-on, but a connecting element within the system.

Made from high-quality loden in 100% merino wool, the vest combines natural warmth with clear structure. The fine merino fibre is temperature-regulating, breathable and pleasantly soft. The fabric is woven in Germany – in a cloth mill steeped in tradition – and finished exclusively for Ben Weide. The fulling process gives it substance, shape retention and durability.

Inside, a lining made from 48% recycled polyester (from PET bottles) and 52% viscose ensures stability and comfort. The red decorative piping on the left adds a precise, recognisable signature.

Reduced. Clear. Substantial.
