This happened when I went to Sweden in June of this year to meet VIktor Fredback.
Although summer in Scandinavia is pleasant and it's a good season to wear a Good Luck JK jacket over a T-shirt, the travel time from Kojima was about 20 hours in total.
During the trip, I lost my passport in my bag three times.
Losing your hotel card key once
I once had a sudden back pain.
I almost leaked once because of the lack of toilets available anywhere in Japan...
Well, once the memories of that trip are over, it will be a priceless experience, just like the catchphrase in the MasterCard commercial I saw as a child...
I want to always turn these experiences into something positive, so I started thinking about making a vest for the first time in a long time that can be easily worn and can store things like keys, Airpods, and a passport.
In the past I made a work vest by cutting off the sleeves of an OSHKOSH engineer jacket, but this time I created a vest based on a 30's hunting vest.
However, I wanted the fabric to be workwear, so I used denim and duck.
In the past, TCB has tended to make brown ducks, but this time they've changed things up a bit and made a special order chocolate duck.
I think it can be worn elegantly if worn over a shirt, but I also plan to wear it over a T-shirt or hoodie, or tuck it inside a denim jacket coverall to prevent my belongings from getting lost.
The vest sampled this time was a HETTRICK vest from the 1930s-40s.
There are eight pockets, including the half-moon pocket on the front, so it has more storage capacity than it looks. The half-moon pocket in particular is a pocket that covers the entire body, so you can put something in the left pocket and take it out from the right pocket.
□Fabric
The color is also custom made based on Duck Vintage painter pants. Vertical 10//-ply, horizontal 5 unevenness, 11.2oz. Reproduces the horizontal unevenness seen in actual vintage items. Dyed with reactive dyeing without mercerization, you can enjoy the natural fading.
The above is reprinted from the TCB website.
It has a slightly loose silhouette with a wide body.
It would also look great worn over a denim jacket with few pockets to use as a pocket substitute, and of course it can also be used as a mid-layer.
This is a convenient vest that can be used all year round.
