The Vector Shirt is a relaxed short-sleeve shirt with a softly structured silhouette and slightly dropped shoulders, designed to move effortlessly between settings. Wear it with a flowing skirt and sandals in summer, or style it for the office with tailored trousers.

Worked in fingering weight yarn, the shirt is constructed in flat panels using basic stitches in an easy-to-memorise pattern repeat. Thoughtful shaping across the shoulders, body, and sleeves ensures a clean and comfortable fit. The front, back, and sleeves are worked separately and seamed together. The sleeves, button bands, and collar are worked directly onto the body, giving the piece its neat finish.
