Josette Vest

This Heartloom vest leans into the long-line waistcoat trend, trading typical suiting wools for a structural blend of lyocell and linen. The deep cocoa tone and dense, button-heavy front give it a grounded, utilitarian weight, while the back tie allows you to sharpen the fit through the waist. It functions best as a standalone top or layered over a sheer, slim-fit turtleneck to play with texture.

Safety Rating: Fair: Closed-Loop Semi-Synthetics & Blends

Analysis: The blend of lyocell and linen is highly breathable and utilizes closed-loop solvent processing, which is significantly lower in toxicity than traditional viscose. However, the "dry clean only" requirement suggests the garment may contain residual chemical finishes or delicate construction elements that warrant careful handling.
