Vest
Introducing Re-Vests: Redesigned with leftover from the redesign prosess.
After several months of Recouture vintage and repaired garments, I had leftover pieces in various sizes from the prosess. To tidy up before the new year, I crafted these vests using patchwork from remnants, traditional åkler, distressed garments, deadstock, and second-classified fabric. Totally in love with this neck warmer pattern from Selfmade—it’s easy, gender-neutral, and fits perfectly as a patchwork piece.
These two-of-a-kind vests are a true celebration of circularity and zero waste — crafted from GU deadstock upholstery fabric and Recouture’s very own woven tapestry, produced locally on Hadeland and brought to life at the Recouture Studio.
We call them «Restevest» — where fashion meets handcraft.
Versatile by nature. Wear it dressed up in the city or layered for a day in the woods. It keeps the wind off your chest, while the Pontetorto cashmere deadstock inside the collar feels as luxurious as only cashmere can.
Every element of the vest is made from resources that already exist: the ties are made from repurposed shoelaces, and the front buttons are sourced from Tinn Per in Hønefoss.
At Recouture, we are driven by a deep love for the past — where every piece tells its own unique story.
Cozy as it is cool.

These two-of-a-kind vests are a true celebration of circularity and zero waste — crafted from GU deadstock upholstery fabric and Pendleton leftover scraps, produced locally on Hadeland and brought to life at the Recouture Studio.
We call them «Restevest» — where fashion meets handcraft.
Versatile by nature. Wear it dressed up in the city or layered for a day in the woods. It keeps the wind off your chest, while the Pontetorto cashmere deadstock inside the collar feels as luxurious as only cashmere can.
At Recouture, we are driven by a deep love for the past — where every piece tells its own unique story.
Cozy as it is cool.
