Designed with our superfine merino wool Tewün fabric in a captivating light grey shade and detailed with cowhide leather, this vest embodies the spirit of Patagonia.

This color, Ripio, is inspired by the quiet roads that cross the Patagonian countryside paths made of loose stone and pale dust that shift beneath the wind. Its light grey tone echoes those landscapes, a hue chosen not only for its subtle beauty but for the way it blends naturally with the environment it was born from. 

A distinctive touch comes through the bronze buttons, each featuring a finely detailed wild boar illustration created by Ruso Sorzana. This artwork has been transferred to bronze using meticulous techniques, allowing the drawing to be faithfully preserved in metal.
The back of the vest is thoughtfully crafted with gabardine, offering ideal breathability to ensure a comfortable body temperature. This feature adds to the overall functionality of the garment, making it a versatile choice for various occasions
