Quilted fabric is one of the oldest types of padding in the world, with a history intertwined with that of bedding, fashion, and body protection.

Quilting comes in two main forms:

  • Traditional quilting: two layers of fabric + wadding or filling, sewn or quilted, used for down jackets, jackets, blankets, bedding, and upholstered seats.
  • Woven quilting (Jacquard quilting): a cushioning effect achieved through weaving, without padding, widely used for bedspreads, cushion covers, upholstery fabrics, and certain garments.

Quilting has become both an aesthetic and functional code, present in urban fashion, streetwear, interior design, and technical textiles (sports, outdoor, furniture), while maintaining a strong link to its history of luxury, comfort, and protection.

Quilted Fabric Vest 123 | Burda Style 11/25

This long quilted vest, available in sizes 46-56, draws inspiration from outdoor and retro fashion to offer a silhouette that is both functional and decidedly fashionable.

Its diamond quilting structures the line, while the straight cut, designed to enhance curves, offers comfort and ease for everyday wear. Worn over a sweater or sweatshirt, it becomes a key piece in your mid-season wardrobe.

The sleeveless design, combined with a V-neck and patch pockets, reinforces its chic, utilitarian spirit. Its timeless khaki color evokes vintage workwear and pairs easily with jeans, straight-leg pants, or a flowing dress.

A refined finish: the jacket is edged along its entire length with thread in a similar color. This prevents the fabric from fraying, reinforces areas subject to wear (edges, neckline, cuffs) and ensures a better fit over time, while adding a touch of style!
