The Vans Encinitas Sweat

Whilst 2013 may be off to an excellent start, temperatures are not faring so well.  With t-shirt season a while off yet, there’s no better time to invest in a decent crewneck, the perfect layer between shirt and jacket.  Knowing a thing or two about trends Vans, have grabbed all-over print with both hands. The Encinitas sweat, named after the small coastal town of Encinitas in California (known for amongst other things the beautiful Surfing Madonna mural) is a khaki offering featuring an all over palm-tree jungle design coupled with a contrasting ribbed brown cuff, hem and neckline.  The finishing touch is a classic Vans OTW patch on the left chest, which breaks up the print without distracting from the overall effect of the piece.
