Olive Wool & Tweed Patchwork Vest

This one-of-a-kind vest has an olive green 100% wool base, is topped with a light wool tweed, and the back is a patchwork of two-toned fabrics, all natural fibers, both cotton and wool.  The collar is olive wool, lined with printed cotton indian textiles, as is the rest of the vest body. The entire vest is edged in soft brown linen and hand-stitched. Brown corduroy welt pockets, lined. Snaps for closure. 

The boxy cut is a roomy medium, depending on how you prefer to wear it. It is intended to be worn over sweaters as cooler weather approaches.
