Materials & Construction
The truth by republic sweater vest features a carefully selected cotton-blend knit that balances warmth with breathability. Our fabric composition includes soft cotton fibers blended with synthetic threads for durability and shape retention.
Every vest undergoes reinforced stitching at stress points including armholes and hem edges. The ribbed knit pattern provides natural stretch while maintaining its structure after repeated wear. We’ve chosen a mid-weight construction that layers comfortably without adding bulk under jackets or blazers.
