This item is an Italian-made piece of ZANONE's classic model, "CHIO​TO (Kyoto)".

Compared to current models, there are several clear differences.
First, the production country is Italy.
Compared to the currently mainstream Romanian-made ones, the texture and firmness of the knit fabric are slightly more classic, and it has a high density feel despite being a mid-gauge knit.
Also, it does not have the vertical waist pockets seen on the current CHIO​TO, resulting in a more cardigan-like and minimal design.

Therefore, the silhouette is also slightly more linear, and it is a piece that has a stronger character as a "high-quality knit outerwear" rather than a jacket.

Shell buttons are used for the buttons, and you can feel the material usage typical of ZANONE at the time.

While the current model is also of very high quality, there are a certain number of people who appreciate the simplicity and utilitarian feel unique to this early model. This is a great piece to recommend to those who feel that "CHIO​TO is too perfect" or who prefer the atmosphere of the early Italian-made ones.

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-closure design, which gives it a clean and elegant look.
It creates a style with Italian sex appeal and elegance no matter what you pair it with, such as denim or wool pants, and its versatility, allowing for layering in and out depending on the temperature, is also attractive.

The height of the neck is also exquisite, not too high and not too low, and it has a good balance that looks natural without being affected. This stand-up feel is created by ZANONE's unique knitting quality.
