That's what I thought last week till it got down to vest wether a couple days ago then jacket weather since Monday.
It was high 80's and one or two days around 90° now back down to the low 60's with crazy high winds.
I have my CCS vest on under my jacket to, but some brass buttons I ordered to replace the original plastic buttons with arrived so I switched the buttons out.
I can't sew worth a darn ( I can stitch leather knife sheaths and pistol holsters though) but they're on there and not coming off...
It's been a few weeks since I've really needed to wear a jacket aside from at work, so I've just been wearing my grey wool vest from CCS.
It has been a great functional everyday piece for me.
I think I might get another one and replace the buttons with brass, if I don't just do that to this one.
I have a few but this one is my favorite, a BTS brass buckle from the 70's belonged to my grandmother.
she gave it to me sometime when I was a kid and I have worn it almost every day for the past 5 or 6 years after I found it in a box of my childhood cowboy get up with the stick horse and suede...
Wool vests definitely go well under a leather jacket for sure.
I also like how wearing a vest makes me feel a bit like a cowboy while I'm watching Gunsmoke, Bonanza, or one of my Favorite Clint movies.
They're also very practical for the extra pockets and pocket positions too , at least when...
Surprisingly my grey CCS vest arrived today and it's actually cooling down a bit so I will get to wear it some, the length is perfect, but a little roomy as I wanted since the last was a little tight.
I think this shorter length would have solved my issues with the last.
$112 and a few...
Well the 2nd vest which I ordered from C&C Sutlery on November 1st is finally done and has just been shipped.
It's going to be in the 70's all this week and before I know it It'll be spring but it was in the 50's last week, so I may get to wear it at least a week before summer comes around if...
I have never actually seen these before, but SG had them for pretty cheap so I ordered one.
USGI 5 button sweater, 100% wool, MADE IN USA.
Probably by whoever makes the " Commando " sweaters.
