ENG: Sylvan Tee features a beautiful, unusual cable line intertwining and swaying around the back, the neckline and the sleeves. The tee is easy to dress up or down, with its classy but interesting appearance. Thoughtful details and smart finishing ensure a modern look, with an elegant touch.
Its name, “of the forest”, derives from the way cables flow throughout the design, which resembles how tree branches and roots entwine. Sylvan Tee is knit top down and is completely seamless. The modified drop shoulder construction and European shoulder seam, which sits back from the natural shoulder line, provide the best fit. The tee is worked both flat and in the round.
