Alpaca Vest – Cocoa

Cocoa is warmth made tangible — rich, grounded, and quietly assured. It carries the depth of roasted beans, worn leather chairs, and late-afternoon sun pouring through tall windows.

Woven from the finest Alpaca and Merino wools of the Peruvian highlands, this vest offers a natural softness and warmth that settle around you like a familiar embrace. The Cocoa hue adds a sense of heritage and permanence, a tone that feels both modern and eternal.

Slip it on, and your presence deepens. The silhouette sharpens without stiffness. No logos. No loud finishes. Just understated refinement, shaped by craftsmanship and intention.

Cocoa is for those who appreciate the subtle strength of classic tones — the ones who let their choices speak softly but unmistakably.

Questions, answered

Is it true to size? Which size should I get?

Yes — order your usual shirt size. The fit is tailored, not boxy: sized to layer over a dress shirt or a tee, under a jacket if you need one. Between sizes? Size up if you'll wear it over sweaters, down if mostly over shirts. Free 30-day returns and exchanges either way.

Does it itch?

No. The fabric is a superfine alpaca-and-merino blend (34% alpaca, 33% merino, 33% nylon for durability) with a hand-feel close to cashmere — soft against skin, and naturally thermoregulating: warm on the platform, not sweaty in the office.

Is it too casual for the office?

It's the piece Forbes called "a wardrobe staple for the modern working man." Clean lines, no logos, hidden zip pockets — it sits over an oxford or under a blazer as easily as over a tee at the weekend.

What about the pockets and zipper?

Two hidden zippered hip pockets, open hand pockets, and an interior pocket for phone, keys or cards. The front zip is a two-way (double-pull) zip so you can vent from the bottom when seated.

How do I wash it?

Rarely — the fabric is stain, water and wrinkle resistant and naturally antimicrobial. When you do: cold hand wash or wool cycle, lay flat to dry, no tumble.

Shipping and returns?

Ships from the US within 1–2 business days; free domestic shipping on the vest. 30-day returns and free US size exchanges. Made in Peru from upcycled alpaca and merino.
