MAKEMECHIC Tie Front Old Money Sweater Vest

A cropped sweater vest with a V-neck, a contrast binding along the edges and a tie at the front, cut with an uneven hem, in one multicolour knit. It goes over a crisp shirt in the way a school vest never did, and the tie is what stops it from looking like one.

The knit has some give and the crop stops at the waist, so it meets a high-waisted trouser and leaves a gap over a low one. It is a spring and autumn piece rather than a winter one. Wash cold, dry flat, and tie the front before it goes in so the ends do not knot.

One of 229 on the knits and layers rail in the MAKEMECHIC range. It also answers to sweaters. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
