A note from Alain

GASTON 02 holds a special place in my heart, having first been prototyped a decade ago and finally brought to life last year. Its initial success inspired us to enhance its durability and comfort. We've introduced a new, easy-care yarn that retains its softness, and elevated the craftsmanship with advanced hand-linking techniques for a more refined finish. This iteration is more versatile than ever, blending the relaxed feel of a sweatshirt with the elegance of a high-end turtleneck. For me, it's the perfect travel companion – a cozy pillow on flights and train journeys alike.

To give your jumper a good and long life please follow these simple guidelines:
  • No need to dry clean. Prefer hand wash or low temperature machine washing.
  • Machine wash up to 30 degrees using a delicate or wool adapted detergent. Do not bleach, soak or rub. Wash similar colors together. Low machine spinning or roll in a towel (for ultimate durability). Unfold the collar prior to washing the jumper.
  • Dry flat, including body, collar and sleeves. Unfold the collar. Dot not tumble dry ever !
  • No ironing needed. If you really want to, set the iron on the Wool, Medium or 2-dot heat setting. Use little to no steam. Do not press to avoid the jumper becoming shiny.

Introducing GASTON 02

Hear the GASTON inner voice

Easier than a sweatshirt

GASTON 02 is not your ordinary uptight turtleneck.

GASTON 02 is heavier, comfortable, casual yet dressy. The ultimate winter jumper and your best ally against the cold.

Easy to wear, pair and care for, GASTON is Alain’s favourite piece to travel, whether on him or used as a sleeping pillow.

Soft on your skin, kind to sheep

A lasting jumper starts with quality materials. We chose an extra-fine (19.5 microns) 100% Merino wool sourced in Argentina.

The sourced wool is guaranteed mulesing-free. It is fully traced from flock to yarn.

The yarn is spun and dyed by E. Miroglio in their own workshops located in Italy and Bulgaria.

The wool is soft and non-itchy. You can wear it straight on your skin if you want to.

Thermal harmony

Unlike Cashmere, Merino wool is naturally thermo-regulating. It offers warmth in chillier weather and stays comfortably cool when it's milder.

The yarn used for the 2nd generation ensures an even more ideal balance, providing a shield against the cold while maintaining a pleasant temperature indoors.

Totally easy care

The yarn is total easy care meaning it has was treated to be machine washable. The added benefit of this treatment is that pilling is also greatly reduced.

A cozy breathing double layer

Our double-layer knitting in the upper body and sleeves of GASTON 02 creates a unique air cushion, trapping warmth while maintaining breathability.

The knit is robust yet flexible, avoiding over-stretching for optimal shape retention.

Weighing a comfortable 900g, it's perfect from autumn to early spring, offering both enduring wearability and snug warmth.

True collar

The GASTON 02 collar is uniquely designed to be stiffer than the average turtleneck. It ensures a consistently neat appearance without sagging or losing its shape.

Comfortably snug without feeling restrictive, the collar stands out by staying in place, the true hallmark of a high end turtleneck.

Sleek Silhouette with Italian Shoulder

The Italian shoulder in our GASTON 02 isn't just a design choice, it's a silhouette enhancer. By shifting the shoulder seam to finish at the back, it presents a cleaner, more streamlined look at the front.

This subtle alteration not only adds to the garment's elegance but also lends an appearance of heightened stature and improved posture to the wearer.

Scalloped wrist

The wrist is scalloped just where the thumb sits to make sure the wrist position itself at the right place.

It is our signature and will look just right with a GOSSUIN shirt.

Square armscye Engineered for Movement

The armscye forms a square rather than the classic ellipsis. This way of binding the sleeves to the body is often seen in sports and military sweaters, allowing a higher freedom of movement.

Flat knitted in Lithuania

The jumper is knitted and finished in Kaunas (Lithuania) on flat knitting machines. It is fully fashioned, meaning it is knitted in shape rather than as a roll.

Pieces are then bound together via re-meshing / hand-linking (when needed) rather than sewn together. The use of this technique prevents material waste.

Our jumper is 100% made in Europe from yarn to finish.

Traceability

We fight for people to own less but better garments.

To guide you on that path, we promise to clearly tell you what we know and what we don't at every step of garment making process.

Environmental impact

Let's be clear, manufacturing new garments will always impact the environment.

That said, by measuring it, we can identify how to gradually reduce it on every new creation.

This is the impact of producing one GASTON 02 turtleneck.

    of emitted CO2 equivalent

    Or ~347km by car

  • 62 MJ

    of consumed energy

    Or ~25 hours of heating in a flat.

Still A Decade in the Making

From the legacy of the unreleased GASTON prototype—a decade-old treasure worn exclusively by our founder, Alain—to the launch of GASTON 01, our journey toward excellence leads us to GASTON 02. This new chapter unfolds with a clear mission: to refine and enhance what we've already established as very special.

Refined by Experience

GASTON 02 is not merely a sequel; it stands as a testament to our dedication to continuous enhancement. Heeding the insights from our first 1300+ GASTON enthusiasts, we've evolved the jumper to be more durable, more resilient, easier to care for, less prone to pilling, while retaining its softness and distinct shape.

The fit is sharper, the yarn more resilient, and the comfort is second to none. It is the quintessential piece, designed to endure the demands of everyday wear while maintaining an air of effortless elegance.

In pursuit of an even more refined finish, we have added more manual procedures, replacing the knitted parts with hand-linked ones for a cleaner, more sophisticated, and aesthetically pleasing line of separation between the higher and lower parts.

Colorful foundations

Our ambition to invigorate the winter spectrum persists. Expanding from the classic dark blue and brazilian green, we've introduced new colors meticulously chosen by Alain and masterfully crafted for GOSSUIN in Italy by our yarn maker. Each color is selected for its distinct presence and adaptability, injecting a vibrant new energy into your winter ensemble.

Imagine wrapping yourself in the brilliance of chalk white, a contemporary twist on classic cream, radiating a crisp, modern vibe. Envelop yourself in the warmth of glazed chestnut, a rich, effortlessly elegant hue. And make a statement with the luminous electric blue, a shade so vivid it's impossible to overlook. These colors aren't just additions to your wardrobe; they're an infusion of life, transforming the dreary winter into a canvas of vibrant, stylish expression.

A Commitment to Improvement

Wear GASTON 02 with the knowledge that it's a product of evolution, crafted from valuable input and a desire to offer something that's not just better, but the best. It's a symbol of our commitment to you and to the craft, a piece that we're proud to say has been elevated in every way.

Wear with pride. Wear with confidence. Wear without moderation.



It took many people to bring GASTON 02 to the world. This section is dedicated to them.
