Edgy • Cropped • The Layer That Finishes an Outfit

A black vegan leather bomber vest with a ribbed knit collar, armholes, and hem, and a front zip closure.

The Hinoki Journal

This is the piece that takes a soft, striped tee and a pair of trousers and makes them look intentional. Vegan leather gives it a bomber jacket's edge without the sleeves, and ribbed knit at the collar, armholes, and hem keeps the whole thing feeling like a real jacket rather than a vest that got left behind.

Fit Notes

A ribbed collar sits close to the neck, with a full front zip and ribbed armholes in place of sleeves. The cropped, boxy fit lands at the waist, with side pockets tucked into the seams for a genuinely functional layer.

Why It Found Its Way to Hinoki

A good vest earns its place by working with nearly anything, and the vegan leather here adds a little edge without going full jacket. It layers over a striped tee or a solid sweater equally well.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip

Layer over the marina stripe sweater or a plain tee, and let the ribbed edges peek out at the collar and cuffs for contrast.

Hinoki Care Suggestions

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing to protect the vegan leather finish.
