Fair Isle Pattern Knit Vest

Not ones to shy away from an intricate design, Beams present their Fair Isle Vest. Knitted from a wool/nylon blend this playful sweater vest can be a reliable layer in the colder months.

The knit originated in the late 18th century on the Shetland island of Fair Isle, where it was originally worn by fisherman for warmth, the design had a resurgence after Menswear icon Edward, the Prince of Wales (A.K.A The Duke Of Windsor), wore a Fair Isle Waistcoat in 1921, implementing the design into the wider fashion conscious.
