A modern take on a classic men’s colour work vest in 2 styles using Cleckheaton Country 8 ply and Cleckheaton Country Naturals 8 ply. Choose from Pullover or Buttoned front options for a versatile wardrobe staple. The possible colour combinations are endless with the many colours in this yarn range.

The Cedric Vests offer a choice of either a pullover or buttoned style using the stranded colour work technique. Both styles are made in pieces and seamed.
