Men's Distressed Hem Knit Sweater Vest | Gray / M 100400986029898

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Measure against your body or a flat garment; keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed (not pulled tight). For the most accurate fit online, measuring a similar garment you already own is recommended.

Measuring your body (recommended)

1. Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits and across the shoulder blades. Breathe normally and record the measurement.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other across the back.
3. Torso length: From the base of the back of your neck (where the neck meets the shoulder) straight down to where you want the vest hem to sit (typically at the hip).
4. Waist (optional): Measure around the narrowest part of your torso if you want to check how the hem will sit against your waist.
5. Layering allowance: For a shirt underneath, add about 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm); for a thicker shirt or lightweight sweater, add 2–4 in (5–10 cm).

Measuring a garment (most accurate for online purchases)

1. Lay the vest flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Flat chest: Measure straight across the front from one armpit seam to the other; multiply this number by two to get chest circumference.
3. Flat shoulder: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
4. Flat length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the collar) down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem to see how it will sit on your hips.
6. Armhole depth: Measure from the top of the shoulder seam down to the bottom of the armhole opening to ensure comfortable arm movement.

Compare your measurements to the product sizing. If you’re between sizes and want a layered look, size up; for a closer fit, size down one.

Materials & construction

Fabric: soft midweight knit constructed for comfortable layering. Typical composition: 55% acrylic, 35% cotton, 10% nylon. (Please check the sewn-in garment label for the exact fiber content for this specific item.)

• Knitting: midweight knit with a balanced hand—comfortable next to skin and structured enough to hold the vest shape.
• Design: intentionally distressed/raw-cut hem for a modern, lived-in look; irregularities at the hem are part of the design.
• Trims: ribbed neckline and armholes for durability and shape retention. Unlined.
• Care tag: consult the garment's care label for the definitive cleaning and fiber information.

Model information

Model shown: 6'1" (185 cm), chest ~38–40" (96–102 cm), wearing size Medium. The vest is presented in a slightly relaxed fit designed for layering over shirts and tees. Fit recommendations: choose your usual size for the shown fit, size down for a slimmer profile, or size up for extra layering room.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the vest inside out before washing to protect the distressed hem and surface texture.
• Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle.
• Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners that can affect fiber hand and color.
• Gently reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a clean towel—avoid wringing or twisting.
• Avoid high-heat tumble drying; if you must, tumble dry low and remove promptly to reshape.
• Iron or steam on low with a pressing cloth if needed; avoid direct high heat on distressed edges.
• Store folded rather than on a hanger to prevent shoulder stretch; use a padded hanger if hanging is preferred.
• Remove pills gently with a sweater comb or fabric shaver. Trim loose threads at the hem with small scissors instead of pulling.
• For stubborn stains or major repairs, consult a professional cleaner; follow any instructions on the sewn care label first.

Style tips

• Layer over a crisp button-down shirt for a smart-casual, preppy look; roll the shirt sleeves slightly to show contrast.
• For cooler days, wear over a lightweight turtleneck or long-sleeve tee for a modern layered outfit.
• Pair with straight-leg chinos or slim denim and complete with Chelsea boots or clean low-top sneakers depending on the occasion.
• Wear under a blazer for a contemporary office look—let the hem and distressed edge peek out for subtle edge.
• Keep accessories minimal: a leather belt and a simple watch highlight the vest without competing with the texture.
• Color pairing: neutral vests pair well with both muted and bold shirts; patterned vests work best with solid base layers to avoid clashing.
• Fit note: for a tailored appearance choose your regular size; for an oversized, fashion-forward look, size up and let the vest drape.
