The Drawstring Vest is a layering piece that can be styled in multiple ways. Designed with a cropped silhouette, it features open sides with adjustable drawstring toggles, a zip-front closure, and welt pockets. The elastic drawstring runs across the entire back panel and extends partially into the front, allowing you to adjust the waist for a more fitted or relaxed look. Customize your collared vest with the optional zip placket, or choose the hooded version for added versatility.
