The Green Man Vest from Chateau Orlando is one of my favorite pieces in a collection full of retro, 70s-inspired clothing that exudes a carefree, artistic vibe.
Made from 100% extrafine merino wool, this jacquard crewneck vest features beautiful hand-embroidered details inspired by the Green Man, a mythical guardian of the forest and symbol of the natural cycle of life. Cozy, stylish, and full of character, it’s a perfect nod to folklore wrapped in modern fashion.
The vest is available in sizes XS to XL, with measurements that ensure a comfortable fit. For example, size S measures 26” in length and 39.4” in bust, while size L is 27.6” in length and 44.1” in bust. For T-shirts, sizing up for a relaxed fit is suggested, while knitwear fits true to size. Orders are shipped from Italy, with free shipping on purchases over €350 and dispatch typically within 1-2 working days.
