Slipover with cables
black
Other colors
Vintage style burgundy vest with cables from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
This soft slipover from Seamstress of Bloomsbury is made from a replica of 'orlon', which was a material developed as a wool alternative in the 1940s. Orlon is vegan, and it is also great for anyone who finds wool itchy.
The vest is created from an authentic 1940s pattern, so it oozes vintage vibes. The vest has a ribbed V-neck, and there is also ribbing at the armholes and a wide rib at the waist.
The fine cables add beautiful variation to the solid-coloured knit and are perfect over both plain and patterned shirts. It is, of course, knitted to fit close to the body, highlighting the figure.
The slipover is perfect for a trouser look, with a shirt underneath.
- Beautiful with a tie-bow shirt underneath, where you can let the bow hang out over the top.
- Lovely vegan alternative to wool
- Wear it with all the lovely vintage-style trousers and/or jeans
100% Orlon.
Orlon is an acrylic fiber - a synthetic material similar to wool. It is known for being soft and warm as well as resistant to sunlight, shrinkage and chemicals. The material was introduced by DuPont in 1948 and is used in clothing.

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love Slipover with cables in black
Perfect for layering
Wear it over dresses, with high-waisted jeans or together with a skirt for a feminine and wearable look.
All year round
A good knit or cardigan is a favourite you can wear on cool summer days, through transitional seasons and all winter long.
Styling tip
Use knitwear and cardigans as the soft layer over dresses, blouses, jeans or skirts. It adds both warmth and vintage feeling.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
Find the right vintage-inspired top or shirt
Our vintage-inspired tops, blouses and shirts feature feminine fits that accentuate the waist and pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s fashion, when puff sleeves, elegant collars, tie-neck details, flattering necklines and fitted silhouettes were among the era’s characteristic features.
We always recommend checking the bust and waist measurements for each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage-inspired shirts are made from non-stretch fabrics and have a looser fit, while other tops contain stretch and fit closer to the body. Choose the vintage-inspired top or retro shirt that suits the look you want – from a relaxed everyday outfit to classic 1940s style, feminine 1950s fashion or a colourful 1960s look.
