Apogee is a vest that delivers instant finesse. The geometric mosaic stitch pattern gives this classic piece a modern twist. The square neckline and relaxed fit make this layering piece perfect for dressing up or down. Kingston Tweed – a soft yet rustic yarn that blends wool, alpaca, and mixed fiber – is excellent for colorwork and offers a touch of tweed. What could be more timeless than a tweedy vest?
