Does a man need a vest?

Knitted men's sleeveless jackets (knitted with knitting needles) cannot be called a universal piece of clothing, as they are usually worn by those who for some reason cannot wear a sweater. Often, our husbands, brothers and fathers only need one or two quality button-down pullovers or cardigans. Therefore, before choosing yarn and a pattern, you should ask if a vest is needed in principle?

• Mouth in the shape of a cape or with a collar.
• The slats are tied with an elastic band or other pattern.

These options are often chosen by novice craftswomen, because it is very difficult to make mistakes here.
