Wax Lyrical With Freenote’s Latest Calico Vest

The vest is one of those old-time workwear classics that a lot of heritage gear enthusiasts forget all about. Freenote Cloth‘s Waxed Canvas Calico Vest in Black, Oak, and Tobacco does its best to ensure that this staple is never overlooked again.

Made from 10 oz. Martexin-waxed canvas, the vest features a Southwestern cotton lining, repro cinch belt buckle from Japan, and turn of the century inspired donut buttons which means you’ll fit in on the set of any spaghetti western,  The curved welt pockets make for a killer functional design that will fit your pocket watch, monocle, snake oil, and — I don’t know — that poker chip you stole from the saloon shoot out scene?

Jokes aside, not only does this USA-sewn vest look the part, it’s built like a tank, and will wear in perfectly. I can see the epic crease lines now.

Available for $200 at Freenote Cloth
