We teamed up with Crescent Down Works in Seattle to create a supremely durable and handsome vest that’s great for a crisp urban commute or a chilly duck blind. Starting with CDW’s classic Italian Vest pattern, we added some uniquely Archival features including a waxed cotton/nylon shell, brass snaps, reinforced leather washers, an inside chest pocket and a worsted wool knit collar made for us by Centralia Knitting Mill.
This Fall, we are offering the vest in three colorways: navy, olive and black. For more information, visit the Archival Web Shop.
This absolutely makes me want to jettison my Wings and Horns vest. Between the collar, the chest pocket, and the contrast lining, there’s hardly an improvement to be asked for. That it’s down and waxed, and zips as well makes it a versatile, timeless piece that’s as at home in the city as the deep woods.
