Purchased new over 20 years ago, probably shortly after CHIOTO first arrived in Japan. Made in Italy, not Romania.

Judging from the tag, it seems to have been bought at Barneys New York. The difference from the current model is that it doesn't have vertical waist pockets, but the overall silhouette, collar shape, and number of buttons are the same.

Used for about 4 years. After that, due to changes in lifestyle and hobbies, I wore it less and less, and after taking it to the dry cleaners, I kept it stored at home.

Since I wore it frequently, there is a certain amount of wear and tear. As noted in the photos, there are two 5cm-diameter snags on the right elbow and one on the upper right cuff (all on the back). Since it's knitwear, repair is possible if you take it to a specialist.

There is also pilling and fuzzing, mainly around the hem. All the buttons are present, with no chips or cracks.

Considering the above damage, I have set the price quite low.

Additional photos are available. Please purchase with full understanding.

From the retailer:
The top-selling item from ZANONE is unanimously this one, the 5-gauge stand collar knit cardigan "CHIOTO Kyoto."

While it has elements of a driver's knit, it features a classic button-down design, resulting in a clean and elegant look.
It creates a stylish look with Italian flair and elegance when paired with denim or wool pants, and its versatility allows for layering both indoors and outdoors depending on the temperature.

The neck height is also exquisite, not too high and not too low, appearing natural without being overly affected, and with a good balance. This stand-up feel is created by ZANONE's unique knitting quality.
