Rolled-edge mohair vest

Description

Drawn from the hand-knitted sweaters of the early industrial era — pieces made to be worn rather than to flatter, where comfort came before shape. The structure is visible in the knit and the hand of the maker is left in it, which is where the warmth of a vintage sweater comes from.

Cut sleeveless and kept simple, so the knit carries the piece. The shoulder is wide and square, the body clean, and it holds its line well enough to sit over almost anything. Edges are left to roll naturally rather than finished flat, keeping the made-by-hand quality of the original.

The yarn is woollen-spun from mohair and wool, which fills it out into a soft, full nap and gives the surface a layered, low sheen — light in the hand for the warmth it holds.
