FORLU

……………………..

Form and function overlap in this structured yet buoyant knit.

A v-neck waistcoat with clean lines slicing through chunky shearling-like fabric, Forlu combines a minimalist aesthetic with rich texture. It is also exceptionally easy to wear. 



Thanks to a subtle tailoring trick, this vest sits well on the shoulders, and the front panels stay in 
place without the need for closures. The fabric is remarkably stable and keeps its shape. You can 
 throw it on over any outfit, and stay warm though the day without even noticing you are wearing it.

Using extremely simple construction techniques, this vest is a quick and satisfying knit.
 


Forlu means overlap in Irish Gaelic.
