TCB Jeans_Huntsman Vest_Covert Herringbone

The Huntsman Vest is based on a 1930s-40s HETTRICK Hunting Vest. We've produced it three times before, and it's always been a highly popular item, for which we're very grateful.

This time, we changed the fabric and made it from charcoal covert herringbone.

Each time we produce the Huntsman Vest, we change the fabric, so we never reproduce it with the same material.

Because of this, some people even collect previous iterations of the Huntsman Vest.

The charcoal covert herringbone used this time will also be limited to this batch.

The next time we make it, the Huntsman Vest will have a different look.

Including the front half-moon pocket, there are a total of 8 pockets.
Beyond the visual impact, it offers surprising storage capacity when you actually use it.

The half-moon pocket is particularly interesting.
Since the entire body forms a bag-like structure, you can even put something in from the left and take it out from the right. When paired with the Workers' Wild Cat Tee that just arrived yesterday,
it creates a "Wild Cat Hunter" vibe, which is also great.

Kyun wore it in an unexpected way over a Seamen JK, which was fresh, and I'm sure it would also look good layered over a hoodie in autumn and winter.
Personally, it's my "wearable bag" for summer.

On days when you want to go out without a bag,
just toss everything into the pockets and head out.
I'd be happy if you used it that way.

This is about my trip to Sweden in June 2024 to meet Viktor Fredback.
Summer in Northern Europe was pleasant, and it was a good season to wear a T-shirt with a Good Luck JK, but the travel time from Kojima was about 20 hours in total.

During that trip, I lost my passport in my bag three times,
lost my hotel key card once,
threw out my back once,
and nearly had an accident once due to the difference in toilet availability compared to Japan...
Well, even though those travel memories have passed, they are priceless experiences, just like the Mastercard commercial catchphrase I saw as a child.....

I, who always wants to convert such experiences into something positive,
started thinking I wanted to make a light, easy-to-wear vest for storing keys, AirPods, passports, etc., after a long time.

In the past, I made a work vest by cutting the sleeves of an OSHKOSH engineer jacket, but this time I created it based on a 30s hunting vest.

I think it can be worn elegantly over a shirt, and I'm planning to wear it over T-shirts and hoodies or inside a denim jacket or coverall to prevent losing my belongings.

The vest I sampled this time is a 1930s-40s HETTRICK vest.
Including the front half-moon pocket, there are 8 pockets, providing more storage capacity than it appears. The half-moon pocket, in particular, is an entire body pocket, so it's possible to put something in the left pocket and retrieve it from the right pocket.

Wallet, smartphone, keys, earphones.
If that's all you need, this vest can hold it all.

The hunting vest, equipped with 8 pockets, was a practical item for hunting in the 1930s-40s.

But in modern times, its functionality lives on as everyday wear.

Another appeal is that simply throwing it on when a T-shirt alone feels a bit incomplete adds depth to your outfit.

"Wearable bag" might be the most fitting description for this vest.

This time's fabricThe covert herringbone has a good thickness, so it won't sag even if you put a lot of items in the pockets.

The pattern has a roomy width so that it can be worn over a hoodie or jacket. You can also size down if you prefer.

In the images, a size 38 is shown on a slender size M mannequin.
