Mads Nørgaard Almond Oil Wool Elin Vest

The Mads Nørgaard Elin Vest in almond oil is a classic knit vest, done the straightforward Scandinavian way. No slouch, no fuss, no styling tricks — just a solid shape and a good yarn.

It’s knitted in a soft wool blend with a bit of weight to it, so it feels reassuring rather than flimsy when you pick it up. The knit has a dry, even texture that holds its structure well and doesn’t collapse once it’s on. The cut is clean and slightly boxy, with a sharp V-neck that sits neatly without dipping too low.

Wide armholes make it easy to layer properly — over a crisp shirt, a long sleeve tee, or something finer underneath — without pulling across the chest or bunching at the sides. The ribbed neckline, hem and arm openings keep the shape tidy and give the vest a clear edge, while the body knit stays simple and uninterrupted.

The almond oil colour sits somewhere between cream and oat. Warm, soft and easy to live with, it works comfortably alongside denim, black, navy and grey, and doesn’t fight with colour underneath. It’s neutral without feeling flat, and clean without looking stark.
