Our Mackinaw Wool Western Vest shrugs off wind and light rain while providing warm insulation, wet or dry. The notched lapels and pointed hem are a nod of respect to the bold pioneers who settled the West. Vests, known as waistcoats in Britain, were considered a requirement for proper attire in those days. The front pockets were sized and located for quick access to timepieces. Those same features that made the vest an indispensable garment on the range make our Western Vest a companion no matter where your journey leads.
