Vest for the Cricket Match (updated)

This updated unisex version of Annie Modesitt’s sports-inspired V-neck vest features expanded sizing and a single color for a modern, casual look. The front of the vest features complex-looking braided cables, and the back uses simpler two-stitch cables for a smoother, less bulky fit under a jacket.
