About This Item
This DipaliZ vest is a sleeveless V-neck knit worked in a houndstooth check. Houndstooth is a broken check built from small interlocking four-pointed shapes. The vest is made from 55% cotton and 45% polyester and is offered in nine sizes, 3XS through 3XL. A knit vest is a layering piece, worn over a shirt so collar and cuffs stay on show. The fiber content and sizes above are the ones this listing sells.

The story behind this design
Houndstooth is an optical pattern before it is a decorative one: the teeth are the same shape in both colors, so neither reads as figure and neither as ground, and the surface refuses to settle. Knitting it forces the scale up, which turns out to be a gain rather than a compromise, because at this size you can see the interlock doing its work instead of just registering a flat haze. It is the most formal pattern in the collection and the easiest to wear to an office.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What is houndstooth?
A: Houndstooth is a broken check made of small four-pointed shapes that interlock, traditionally in two contrasting colors. The name comes from the resemblance to a dog's tooth.
Q: What is this vest made of?
A: 55% cotton and 45% polyester.
Q: Which sizes are offered?
A: Nine: 3XS, 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL.
Q: Will a fine houndstooth look right on a knit?
A: The pattern is scaled up for knitting so each tooth holds its shape in the stitch. A houndstooth at woven scale would blur into a flat gray on a knit surface.
Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and dry flat so the check stays square. Do not tumble dry or wring the fabric.
