Challenging the frown on your face when you read the word "vest", this piece elegantly steers away from both banker and lumberjack territory. It's an understated layering piece for all seasons, packed with functionality. Redesigned for increased form and function, it's made from a lightweight, water-repellent Korean fabric from 100% recycled nylon. Additionally, it's insulated with PrimaLoft® Silver from 100% recycled PET, which is as clean as it's clever.

With a permanent collection and direct-to-you sales, we don't have wholesale markups, deadstock, sales or discounts. The traditional retail price shows what we'd have to charge if we sold our garments through multi-brand stores (wholesale) - 6x the landed cost. Instead, our markup is between 2.5-4.5x landed cost depending on product and country characteristics. It covers the cost of our garments and a lot more: VAT, cost of sales (shipping, warehousing, payment, web systems etc.), marketing, admin (salaries, rent, product development etc.) and financial costs, while maintaining a slim profit to keep investing in our mission.
