Siúla Vest
………………………..

Whether you love strolling, rambling, striding, wandering, or rolling, the Siúla Vest 
will gladly be your companion. Derived from the Irish siúl, this gilet-style body warmer is designed with motion in mind. 



The top-down raglan construction hugs the shoulders with anatomical precision; then
 sculpts itself, as if by magic, into perfectly rounded armholes. The puffy bodice is finished with finely ribbed edgings and sturdy front closures, providing a cozy 
 cocooning effect without adding bulk or impeding movement. Finally, the origami-like 
collar can be adjusted in several ways for various degrees of neck and chest coverage. 


An utterly capable garment, Siúla’s core features and customisable options make
 it ideal for everyday wear - no matter where your typical day might take you.
