Fabric Suggestions
For a structured, crisp look, we recommend using a medium-weight wool or wool-blend coating, which holds the shape of the vest beautifully and provides excellent warmth. If you prefer something more casual and lightweight, a sturdy cotton twill or denim offers a rugged, everyday aesthetic that softens with every wash. For a touch of luxury, consider a heavyweight linen; it is remarkably easy to sew and provides a stunning, textured drape that is perfect for transitional weather.
