She's Back!
You asked. You waited. You wore the long version and wondered when we'd bring her short sister back. Today's the day.
Our original Short Down Vest is back in two new colorways:
- Dot-Camo Front / Charcoal Back
- Charcoal Front / Camo Inside
NOTE: they are not Reversible.
Same beloved style. Same thoughtful Heimmade details. Just a little less skirt-length, a little more layer-friendly.
Wear her your way
As an under layer — slip her under your favorite Heimmade coat or fleece for an extra core of warmth on the coldest Minnesota mornings. (You know the ones. -10° and you're still walking the dog.)
As a statement on top — toss her over a turtleneck, flannel, or the bestie jacket you can't stop wearing, and you're out the door looking like you tried (you didn't).
The Heimmade promise
Lightweight down fill that punches well above its weight. A flattering cut that works over leggings, jeans, or layered under just about anything. Made by us — Rose and Gretchen — in Minnesota, where we've earned the right to know what "warm enough" actually means.
