OLD SCHOOL STYLE/NEW SCHOOL FABRICS-Knits

Part 8

Knitwear apparel for the outdoors often combines natural and synthetic fibers-as well as just the 'plain ole' wool...for high performance pursuits. Insulating, anti-odor, warm when wet, and quick drying properties are natural...and then some.
New-using the same visuals- vintage patterns- of Scandic and traditional designs in sleeker silhouettes made from tech fibers-  that are ideal for layering.
