Square neck shell buttoned stretchy grey vest

• Origin:  Conceptually designed and meticulously produced in Japan.

• Texture:  Fine-gauge vertical ribbing that elongates the silhouette and provides multi-directional stretch.

• Hardware:  Genuine shell buttons with unique natural grain and high-gloss finish.

• Silhouette:  Slim, body-hugging fit with a clean round neckline and reinforced cuffs.

• Weight:  Lightweight and breathable, designed for year-round layering.

• 45% Cotton:  Provides the breathable, structured foundation and matte finish.

• 35% Modal:  Enhances the ultra-soft "silk-touch" feel and prevents the fabric from stiffening after washing.

• 15% Lyocell:  Adds a subtle technical sheen, superior moisture-wicking, and a fluid drape.

• 5% Polyurethane (Spandex):  Essential for the high-recovery stretchy ribbing and shape retention.

To maintain the high elasticity and the luster of the shell buttons:

• Washing:  Hand wash in cool water or use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag.

• Detergent:  Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce the breathability of the Lyocell.

• Drying:  Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a towel to air dry. Hanging while wet will cause the ribbed knit to stretch vertically.

• Buttons:  Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the shell buttons from hitting the machine drum.

This vest is the ultimate textural foundation for a curated look. For a more fluid aesthetic, layer it over the asymmetric rayon-blend draped pants in charcoal or use it as a base under the Japan technical linen-lyocell blazer. Complete the ensemble with soft calf leather Mary Janes and Mina Perhonen figurine socks for a look that is both intellectually designed and exceptionally comfortable.
