Camber
Camber
Reminiscent of the ocean pulse, the garter stitch texture of the Camber Vest creates beautiful ripples across its mono- chromatic fabric. Using Hinterland Range, the front and back of Camber are worked flat with nuanced shaping in the body and short-row shaping in the shoulders to create a sleek fit. Armhole edgings, button band and neck edges are picked up and worked after vest is assembled, finishing off the tailored form that makes Camber a perfect piece for layering over or under.
