A truly knightly garment, Storming the Castle is an asymmetrical medieval-inspired pullover vest made up of easy textures - twisted and beaded rib, plus a stockinette shoulder panel. The faux closure is perfect for embellishing with ornate notions. Be creative - try vintage buttons, toggles on leather, or antiqued metal hooks.
