Adding up a long list of subtle details, Kaplan makes the most of all of them. Worked in a combination of the softest yarns, the hem and sleeve cuff alternate color to create a subtle or bold stripe pattern—your choice. Gently flared cuffs, waist shaping, and a tailored collar create a modern and flattering silhouette.

Construction
Garment is worked circularly from the hem/cuffs to underarms, then worked flat with minimal seams. The collar is picked up and sewn to the inside, creating a neatly finished garment.
