The Pike's Vest is a timeless wardrobe staple that adds a touch of vintage-inspired style to any outfit. Designed to be worn over shirts or T-shirts, this classic lined vest features clean tailoring details and a comfortable fit.
The front is slightly longer than the back and includes practical patch pockets for an old-school look, while back darts and a shaped centre back seam provide subtle shaping. Facings along the edges create a neat, professional finish, making Pike's Vest a rewarding project for sewists looking to expand their garment-making skills.
