silhouette baselayer

men's version

This men’s version of the Silhouette Base Layer includes all the great features of the women’s sweater—seamless construction, light, warm fabric, and a comfortably snug fit for a three- season pullover. But it’s shaped specifically to fit a man’s proportions. It includes longer sleeves, deeper armholes, and reverse A-line shaping.
