Bassett | Sweater Vest V-Neck Patchwork Knit

Open V. Patchwork face. Six colours.

The patchwork knit runs across the front in blocks of texture, so the vest carries enough interest to be the piece people notice. It sits slim through the chest and waist without pulling at the armholes, which keeps the line clean when you move. The V is cut deep enough to clear a spread collar, and the ribbed edges hold their shape through a long day at a desk. Six colours, from black and navy through to wine and yellow.

A V-Neck That Clears Any Collar Underneath The neckline opens wide enough to sit over a button-up without bunching at the throat. Worn over a tee it frames the chest and keeps the shoulders looking square.

Slim Cut That Holds Its Shape Through the Day The body is cut close but not tight, so the hem stays put rather than riding up when you sit. It reads tidy under a jacket and finished on its own.

Six Colours for Office and Weekend Alike Black and grey keep things quiet under tailoring, while wine and yellow give the piece something to say with jeans.

Patchwork Knit With the Weight of Woolen Sweaters A medium-gauge knit with a soft, dry hand and very little stretch, worked in patched blocks across the front panel. Ribbing at the neck, armholes and hem is knitted tighter than the body, which is what stops the edges curling after washing — a step up in finish from the usual crew neck sweatshirts.

Wear it over a white oxford shirt with grey wool trousers, or over a plain tee with dark denim.
