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.
