“The Drift Vest” - Crochet for Men is a warm and airy garment that’s both breathable and
warm using a milk cotton blend with a slightly snug feel to it. It’s made for the classic,
clean, minimalistic, neutral-toned personality that wants to stand out, but in a soft yet
handsome way. This vest is in a drapy, shoulder drop form, best presented in neutral
tones: white & black, tans, browns, creams, greys, etc., giving it an earthy vibe
that’s fresh and organized.

Men’s Medium (M). Fits a chest circumference of approximately 38-40 inches (96-102
