Impress the relos this festive season by trading up the thongs and singlet for this very respectable Christmas sweater vest.

The fashion item trades up the usual snowflake and pine tree motifs for a pattern of mini VB tinnies and bottles, alongside barbecue tools and heads of wheat. The vests are made locally in Ballarat from a poly-cotton blend, and are priced at $80 each.

For a sun-safe ensemble, you can also pair it with VB’s new Legionnaire Hat, which comes with a flap at the back to protect the neck and ears, while sitting comfortably on the mullet. The cap is priced at $30 and is made from 100% cotton.
