The Cashmere Vest

Introducing the Cashmere Vest, a versatile layering piece made of luxurious cashmere in Scotland. Perfect for the transitional months, it lends itself to being worn under a jacket as a well as a standalone item under a coat.

The cut of the vest is slightly slouchy, with a wider shoulder that emphasises the breadth of wearer, creating a flattering silhouette. The V neck is cut slightly deeper than usual too, allowing a shirt to rest neatly in the opening or to have good space for a tie. 

In terms of the inspiration behind the design, Simon says: "I used to have a particular navy vest (or tank top, or sleeveless sweater) that I wore all the time in my late twenties. It was the perfect thing to put on when I got home, replacing the suit jacket or blazer that I then hung up. It was wonderful to be able to create a more elevated version of that for the shop."

The Cashmere Vest is a piece with distinctive style - something lacking in most garments of this type.
