Not cheap but I found it remarkable. 4 patch pockets? It was hard enough to find my version with only 2 pockets. I was outbit on two others before I got mine. I prefer wool over silk/linen though.

Whoa, found another one.

That second one is incredible!

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

It is! Your size? Otherwise HBK might like this too?

I think I would need a large......

I like the second one, too, and it should fit me well. Thanks for posting this, FFF!

Here's another RL vest. Seems to have a spot or discoloration on the left side even though the seller makes no mention of it.

I like the first one best. I was watching a vintage four-pocket sweater vest on eBay that had the proper waistcoat-shaped front, but missed the end and it went for something like £4. It's why I don't usually wait for the last second to bid anymore.

:eusa_doh: Oh. Could have happened to me too. Not long ago I misread 5 hours remaining as 5 days. Needless to say the item was gone the next day and I was rather surprised.

I wonder if that's not a size sticker or something? The listing indicates the item is new, with tags and that two vests are available . . .

I was wondering about that as well. It looks a bit strange in the photo anyway.

i prefer the first one, though it doesn't have any measurements.

nice RRL interpretation of a 20s-30s cardigan with belted back:

Both are sold. Did you buy em?

The cardigan looks quite good. Not as expensive as usal too. Still can't buy it at the moment.

The cardigan looks quite good.

... although i'm surprised he didn't make the buttons more authentic. those 20s 30s American cardigans usually have finely grooved patterns such as this:

he could have even snuck RRL into the pattern to annoy you.

Interesting detail. Thanks for the picture. I don't own any vintage knit.

I'm embarrassed to report that I plain forgot to bid! :eusa_doh:

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

:eusa_doh: But it's good to know they are out there. Next time...

Big size but no patch pockets
