The Assembly Line - Drawstring Vest
About the Drawstring Vest
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.
Pattern includes all these sizes: Mini (kids) + S + L + 3XL
Styling Inspiration
The dark blue vest is paired with our Oversized shirt and High-waisted trousers.
The black hooded vest is styled with the High cuff sweater and Barrel leg trousers.
The model is 170 cm tall and wears size S.
