Spanning the beautiful state of Michigan, the Iron Belle Trail is a work in progress to connect communities from the wilderness of the Upper Peninsula to urban neighborhoods in the Lower Peninsula. The Iron Belle V Neck brings together trails of twisted stitches from a comfortable and versatile v neck down the front to tie into the twisted ribbing at the hem. Iron Belle is a top-down, seamless raglan with interesting and polished details.
