ABOUT GEARSHIFT & GRACE TANK
I’ve wanted to create a collection of knits that I can wear everywhere - to work, on my motorcycle, and out for a fun evening. A collection of pieces that transition easily to the seasons and to your moods.

Gearshift & Grace is a classic shell to be worn alone or under a blazer or biker jacket. It can work with pants, shorts, leathers, or even a skirt. It’s totally versatile to be dressed up or down.

Knit from the top down, this classic design begins flat and then you join in the round. There is a lovely colorwork pattern worked throughout. And the finishing details at the hem and armholes create a flirty but edgy finish.
