This is yet another stylish, utilitarian item of clothing from the Buzz Rickson William Gibson Collection. The outer shell is crafted from a superb back satin and the inner fill is 100% spun polyester of the same type used in manufacturing the famous U. S. Army M-65 Field Jacket removable liners, making this vest is an ideal winter companion for wear on its own over shirts or sweaters, or as an extra layer of high insulation under a jacket.

William Gibson items, especially this vest, are available in limited quantities; though no one sells more than we do, they still tend to sell out more quickly than any other Buzz Rickson item, especially in the larger sizes.  Please note the following features found on this Buzz Rickson William Gibson masterpiece:

• Copy of a vintage maker’s label design produced on a vintage shuttle loom
• Custom manufacturing of a superb back satin in black using vintage looms
• Two snap-down exterior pockets bar tacked on corners for extra strength
• Two snap-down interior pockets bar tacked on corners for extra strength
• Exact copy of a vintage CONMATIC zipper in nickel plate with zip tape made of all-cotton HBT fabric, not incorrect poly-cotton
• Leather pull tab on zipper designed for easy functioning with gloves
• Custom manufacturing of the correct, two-ply, 100% worsted-wool knit collar in black
• Two-position adjustment tabs on lower back of vest for keeping vest secured close to the body
• Assembly using vintage sewing machines

Even sizes 38-42 Regular.  Please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.
