Dakota Western Wool Vest

This is what Western dressing looks like when it’s done right. The Pendleton Dakota Western Wool Vest in Shiprock Blue Mix is a 100% virgin wool open-front vest with a bold Southwestern geometric Shiprock pattern in cream, slate blue, orange, tan, and grey — an iconic Pendleton design rooted in the heritage of the American West, woven in Pendleton’s own American mills and finished with cowhide leather trim and leather tassel ties at the hem. The Shiprock pattern is one of Pendleton’s most recognized Southwestern designs: large-scale geometric blocks in a palette that is simultaneously earthy and vivid, timeless and completely current. The open-front silhouette is tailored and clean without being stiff — it layers effortlessly over fitted tops, ribbed knits, henleys, and long-sleeve base layers while the leather tassel ties add a Western fringe detail at the hem that moves beautifully and photographs with real dimension. The smooth lining (65% polyester, 35% cotton) makes it comfortable against every base layer, and the cowhide leather trim at the edges and hem anchors the Southwestern wool in a Western material language that is distinctly, unapologetically Pendleton. This is a vest you buy once and wear for decades. Available in Shiprock Blue Mix. Sizes XS–XL.

Styling Suggestions

• Layer over a camel or tan ribbed fitted long-sleeve — exactly as styled in our photo. The Shiprock Blue Mix vest over a warm camel base layer with the striped wide leg denim and a layered turquoise pendant necklace is one of the most complete Western editorial outfits in this collection. The warm tan base lets the cream, blue, and orange Shiprock pattern take center stage without color competition.
• Finish with a statement turquoise necklace, leather cuff bracelet, and Western boots — the Pendleton Shiprock vest is an anchor piece that makes every accessory you already own look like it was chosen specifically for this outfit.

Fit & Sizing

• Tailored vest silhouette with a smooth lining. True-to-size recommended. The open-front design layers comfortably over fitted base layers and light knits without adding bulk at the shoulders. Size up for layering over heavier pieces. Available in Shiprock Blue Mix | Sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL.
