"This classic vest provides unmatched comfort, style, and quality"

- Forbes

Thoughtful goes a long way

Designed in Boston, made in Italy and Perú using high quality up-cycled Alpaca fleece, Merino wool, and Nylon.

Ethics Over Synthetics

We believe the Good-Nature of alpaca wool, at a fair price, can help us leave the vest better than we found it.

Why Vests?

Our founder Zach had a dissatisfaction with casualization in menswear, the stigma of the Midtown Uniform and a deep appreciation for tailored suits which imbued him into designing the perfect alternative.

Why Wool?

Soft Peruvian Alpaca & Italian ACTIVA 3.0™ Merino Fleece - the best of natural endurance fibers. Like the properties and confidence you get in wearing that Patagonia Nano Puff, but from 100% biodegradable wools.

"I chose wisely...I've got two, charcoal grey and indigo blue. The cut and tailoring is great for a vest. Vests often feel slapped together with random bulging areas etc, the Ritter vest fits like a fastball right into the strike zone."

-Ben F.Boston, MA

"This vest exceeded my expectations in
every way and is my new favorite
garment. Now that I've worn it for a while, I can see that it was designed and crafted with great precision and care. It's super comfortable, warm and durable, and has both a natural and modern feel to it. It's really the perfect vest."

"I haven't taken it off. It's so nice to be surprised by a company in such a positive way. The vest is top-notch in every respect, materials, fit and finish, and wearability. I have a closet full of clothes, many costing far more, but I don't own anything finer. If you had a label on this, it would be a thousand-dollar garment. It really does check the boxes."
