Not So Basic Vest

DESCRIPTION The Not So Basic Vest is a timeless, cozy garment with a contemporary touch. It has a straight, slightly boxy silhouette with a relaxed fit, making it perfect for layering. The short sleeves extend just beyond the shoulder and feature ribbed cuffs shaped with German Short Rows, adding a subtle structure. The front is neatly finished with a double-knit button band and a double-knit neckband. Two front pockets are seamlessly integrated into the lower half of the vest, enhancing both its functionality and clean design. A ribbed hem provides a balanced finish to the piece.
