Fit, Form, and Feel: Styling the Greenbrier Vest and Beyond

Fit, Form, and Feel: Styling the Greenbrier Vest and Beyond

There’s always one.

The piece that becomes the heartbeat of a collection. For SS25, it was the Greenbrier Linen Country Vest.

Rooted in our core values - craftsmanship, comfort, and a sense of lived-in elegance - the Greenbrier was designed for women who don’t want to change between their ‘doing’ and ‘being’ selves. You could wear it on the clay ground, at a midsummer lunch, or layered with your morning coffee.

This is clothing that honors life’s many paces.


Why the Vest?

It started with a sketch. A simple shape - boxy but flattering, lightweight but structured - that could layer across seasons. We sampled it in linen for breathability and added subtle design choices that lend timeless structure: binding, internal seams, and just the right amount of weight.

Alexandra describes it as “the piece I reached for more than any other. The one that made me feel both myself and a little elevated.”

Styling It: From Field to Everyday

Here are a few ways our community is wearing the Greenbrier:

  • Classic Utility: Paired with matching trousers or a crisp white shirt for a traditional take on sporting style.
  • Softened Summer: Layered over the Charlotte Sleeveless Blouse with linen shorts or wide-leg trousers.
  • Transitional Layering: Worn open over a turtleneck or long-sleeve top as the seasons shift.

It’s not trend-led. It’s temperament-led.

Sizing Guide: Find Your Fit

We designed the vest with an intentionally relaxed fit. Here’s what to know:

  • Fit Notes: True to size with room for light layering. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down.
  • Length: Hits at the low hip with a gentle sweep for rear coverage — be it paired with leggings or wide-legs it will flatter any shape.
  • Fabric Feel: Structured linen with soft give. Moves with you, doesn’t restrict.
  • How It Wears: Softens over time, creases naturally (and beautifully), and only gets better with age.

And Beyond -Why Fit and Feel Matter

We don’t believe in fast fashion fixes. We believe in pieces you know - by feel, by memory, by how many times you’ve reached for them without thinking.

That’s what fit means here. Not just measurements, but resonance. And feel? It’s everything. Because what you wear should feel like a part of you - not a costume.
