Brushed wool Fair Isle sweater-vest

this 100 percent wool sweater-vest is brushed for softness and the textured, "hairy" appearance it's known for. Though this type of sweater-vest has been around for centuries, it gained popularity with college students in the midcentury and became a staple of Ivy style. Whether you wear it with chinos, denim or a suit, it's always the right choice. This one also features a classic cold-weather Fair Isle pattern that traces its origins to the Shetland Islands off the windy coast of Scotland.
