Do you have a dinner date and want to look your best? The little ladies (and Mommy) like a man who dresses to impress. The Sir Swank vest is knit from the bottom up in simple stockinette stitch. The lapels are knit in garter stitch using short row shaping. Working pockets are a great place to put your pocket fob or race cars. It is a fun and fast knit with a classic cut. No more stiff uncomfortable dress clothes for this little man. The Sir Swank vest is a breathable substitute that will keep your dapper dude happy without jeopardizing his style.
