The Tibetan Wool Vest

This is the vest made from the wool of indigenous wild yaks that roam the cold, arid highlands of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The hairs used in this vest are carefully selected from the dense wooly undercoats that cover a yak’s flank, combined into an 85% yak/15% wool blend, and spun into a 2-ply yarn that retains the heat-storing properties of both animal hairs. Made to a soft hand atypical of woolen garments, and with superior flexibility, the durable vest is meticulously tailored to allow freedom of movement for the arms while wearing a shirt underneath, yet its tight weave helps keep core heat close to the body. Its herringbone, diamond, and rope patterns offer subtle texture without added bulk. The waist has two vertical open pockets and the zippered front closes up to the collar to keep you ensconced in cozy warmth. Brown. Unisex sizes L (49), XL (52). (1 lb.)
