Comfortable and stylish, Brickyard is a celebration of texture and drape. The modern drop shoulder fit, achieved through seamless top down construction and short row shoulder shaping, creates a perfect contemporary fit without any compromises. The ‘brickwork’ yoke and curved arch add structure and balance to a gentle A-line shape. Simple slip-stitch seam details and a split hem add the finishing touches.
