Kaplan

$10.00

Adding up a long list of subtle details, Kaplan makes the most of all of them. Worked in a combination of the softest yarns, the hem and sleeve cuff alternate color to create a subtle or bold stripe pattern—your choice. Gently flared cuffs, waist shaping, and a tailored collar create a modern and flattering silhouette.
