The Harold Vest by Ready to Sew is a modern interpretation of the classic tailored waistcoat, inspired by the timeless style of Annie Hall. Combining refined tailoring with relaxed comfort, Harold is designed to be layered effortlessly over your favorite shirts and T-shirts for an elevated everyday look.

While the front features all the classic details of a traditional vest—including clean lines and elegant faux welt pockets—the back offers a creative twist. Sew it using rib knit fabric or upcycle a favorite sweater to create a unique garment full of personality. The result is a vest that blends structure, comfort, and sustainability into one timeless wardrobe staple.

Designed with multiple cup sizes and inclusive sizing, Harold delivers a flattering fit for a wide variety of body shapes while encouraging creativity through fabric mixing and upcycling.
