This cable jacket is perfect when you need to keep warm outdoors, but with complete freedom of movement. The hood is great for protecting the neck and head from cold winds. With the horizontal cable yoke worked in short-row technique, this is an eye-catching and unconventional jacket that will draw lots of compliments!
