Long title for a well done vest from Post O’Alls. This vest is well thought out and is all about the details. Check the button closure for stitch patterns that hark back to the good old days when making work wear meant making clothes that were utilitarian to the blue collars. NYC made. (context)

Lavenham drops this patchwork vest to celebrate their 40th anniversary. They dig through their fabric archive to bring forth a variety of panels made to show off the company’s heritage. Check the gun patch on the shoulder and the back vest pocket. A beautiful piece. Well done. (museumark)

Chicago’s own Joe McCoy brand comes through with a banger of a vest for the Autumn/Winter market. The deer skin vest is “tanned with natural vegetable tanning process and colored with aniline for the main body . Horse hide used for chest patches.” Those willing to plunge into this beauty will be sure they’re not in the same class as those North Face lovers (nothing wrong with them though). (superdenim)

The third installment of the Mister Freedom ”MFSC Naval Clothing Tailors” collection has dropped and our favorite piece is this excellent denim vest. Made from selvedge MFSC denim “301,” the vest is made from 11oz cotton and is fitted with a shawl collar, slanted chest pockets, and beautiful 13 star peacoat style buttons. Two back secret pockets are made for maps, but they’ll work well for a flask as well. Available at Self Edge.

Filson’s 20 Pocket Travel Vest is not only for the field. Hunter wore won often on and off his ranch. Now, none of us are Hunter and this vest may not work in the city too well but consider what you get for that quick jaunt up to the mountains for a trail walk. The vest itself can be worn solo but is made for zipping into you Filson shell. Made in the U.S.A. and available in green and tan.

Another great piece comes this season from Post Overalls – the Royal Traveller Vest. It is made out of cone chambray and an instant classic. The way the vest buttons up is very interesting and the pockets go over both sides, which is a nice detail.

The Post Overalls Royal Traveller Vest goes with pretty much any shirt and is the perfect companion on the colder days. It can also add some style to an outfit, while still remaining an overall casual look!

One of the most solid companions during any winter season is a good quality down vest. One of our favorite this season is this model by Western Mountaineering. The quilted upper gives it a more sophisticated look. We especially like the missing collar on the vest. These are still today made in Canada with the finest down and are super lightweight – you can be sure it will keep you warm.
