Fit & Silhouette Breakdown:
Part | Fit Characteristic | What It Does for You |
Shoulder | Clean set-in shoulder, relaxed fit | Softly structured without bulk. Aligns naturally with your shoulder line, creating a polished silhouette that doesn’t overpower tops underneath. |
Torso | Semi-fitted with gentle quilted baffles | Contours the body without being tight, with 2–3cm of ease for layering over tees, turtlenecks, or thin sweaters. Quilted construction prevents the vest from shifting or bunching. |
Hem | Knit rib hem with contrast stripe | Stretches slightly for comfort, preventing the vest from riding up during movement. The contrast stripe adds a preppy touch while keeping the hem in place. |
Collar | Rib knit stand collar with contrast stripe | Soft and non-restrictive, providing gentle neck warmth without feeling bulky. The ribbed design stays upright without folding over, even with layers underneath. |
Overall Length | Cropped hip length | Falls just above the hip bone, making it ideal for high-waisted pants or skirts. Proportionally balanced to avoid looking boxy, even on shorter torsos. |
Fabric & Construction Deep Dive:
Component | Material & Design | Functional Benefit |
Shell A (Quilted Body) | 100% Polyester, water-repellent finish | Durable, lightweight, and quick-drying. Repels light rain, dew, and splashes, keeping you dry on dewy golf courses or misty hikes. |
Shell B (Knit Trim) | 50% Acrylic, 30% Polyester, 20% Nylon | Soft, stretchy, and pill-resistant. The knit collar and hem add comfort and structure, preventing fraying and maintaining shape after repeated wears. |
Lining | 100% Nylon | Smooth and anti-static, allowing the vest to glide easily over layers without catching or clinging. |
Padding | Lightweight Fake Down | Provides lofty warmth without the weight or bulk of real down. The fill is evenly distributed, eliminating cold spots and keeping you warm from the chest to the waist. |
