Vests are the ultimate layering piece. They can go over short sleeves, long sleeves, shirts, or dresses. They can be there just to warm your core, or you can throw a coat over them too for extra cozy warmth.

Presto Vesto aims to be even more versatile, incorporating a double-sided separating zipper, and of course, pockets. A twisty cable pattern anchors the lower portion of the vest and transitions to ribbing for the remainder of the piece. A folded collar and ribbon to cover the zipper tape add extra finishing touches to make it extra special.
