The outer surface of the sweater measures less than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The garment features a V-neckline, oversized armholes, a full front opening with 5 button closures and a ribbed bottom. The neckline, armholes and placket are finished with ribbed fabric.

Style number S40072 is a woman's vest constructed from 100% suede fabric(front panels) and 71% cotton, 23% rayon, 6% acrylic, knit fabric(back panel). The entire front of the vest consists of suede pieces sewn together with knit yarn. The garment has an attached knit collar.
