This landscape of cables is a texture lover’s dream. The densely woven fabric of Shelter plays with scale, alternating blocks of small lattice cables and single rib to form a patchwork between cabled zigzags. The lattice cables form an allover pattern on the sides and sleeves, creating an attractive directional shift at the drop shoulders.
