Women's Scoop Neck Vest Top in Merino Wool and Silk

"It is an absolute joy to wear: light-feeling, breathable and comfortable. I got the green and it’s a lovely colour. I would like to have more, and wish there were more non-neutral colours other than orchid, e.g., periwinkle. Though it is machine-washable, I think it’s worth washing by hand, and it is very easy to do so."

"I bought this vest to wear under my uniform for warmth and comfort. I am so glad I did. The pale colour means that I can wear it under my white shirt with just a waistcoat without my jacket if I need to. I always prefer natural yarns and this is the best combination. I will purchase more items. I needed the advice of others and purchased a size bigger than usual and it was just right."

"Great as top or under layer. When very cold, I wore it over my silk/merino vest. So snug."

"I am male! I am a 36 inch chest and the 42/44 is perfectly sized for me.

I wanted a breathable item with a low enough neck to wear under a jumper or shirt without it showing above the neckline of the outer wear. All other items have a neckline which is far too high. This one is (just about) low enough not to show, being about as "scoop" as the average crew neck jumper.

The fabric is soft, though not as soft as Living Crafts items. It is comfortable enough to wear as a pyjama top and its breathability is wonderful for this.

It also works well as outdoor hillwalking wear, where it serves as a thermal under layer or even as a summer top. I don't think I would wear it as a top in a social setting though.

The slight annoyance is the label at the back of the neck. It tends to stick up. I do wish manufacturers would put their labels at the bottom (waist end) rather than the neck. They nearly all put them at the top and it is always annoying.

I have washed the item several time"

"Great long sleeve vest. perfect for wearing different layers. The sleeves are a little bit too short but I am still very happy with the product."
