MOUNTAIN CLIMBER'S SHIRT WOMAN

The Reinvented Icon – The Avista Alpine Shirt The iconic piece of the Avista collection is a modern reimagining of the classic alpine shirt, made famous in the Alps in the early 1980s as an adaptation of the traditional flannel shirt for high-altitude mountain climbing. The origins of this piece represent the meeting of Italian sartorial tradition and the technical functionality needed for mountain adventures. Similarly, our shirt combines artisanal elements in a functional and durable garment, perfect for daily wear but designed for outdoor activities. The construction details preserve the spirit of the original, while enriching it with the best modern technologies. Natural and stretchy fabrics ensure comfort and breathability, while the elastic mesh insert, placed at the sides and on the sleeves, provides additional flexibility for movement. The fit is relaxed and contemporary, designed to adapt to the female body with an ergonomic cut and two back darts that shape the volume without sacrificing freedom of movement. Key design features include the Y-shaped sleeve cut, which enhances arm mobility, shaped tonal elbow patches for added durability, and the structured yoke on the shoulders, which adds robustness and definition to the piece. The snap buttons simplify closure, while the double-stitched seams provide greater durability and a clean aesthetic. Artisan details, such as reinforced topstitching, add strength and uniqueness to the design. Made to withstand variable conditions, the shirt features a raised collar that can be buttoned to offer extra protection against wind and weather. Finally, the distinctive feature of every Avista piece: the climbing piton-shaped loop, which encloses the chest pocket zipper in this model. A tribute to mountaineering and the constant pursuit of performance and style.
