Men look so dapper and tailored in a knit cabled vest, but many designs seem to have gotten stuck in a “cable up the front” standard layout. This version is modeled on a saddle-shoulder sweater template, with additional panels in the sides that echo the cabled shoulders. Ribbing in the body slims the silhouette while drawing the eye up past the v-neckline and to his handsome face.
