Real McCoy's have a pretty sweet alpaca lined cotton vest in their latest collection. I've been after something like this for a while, although I'll be honest - the price is something of a barrier!

I'm struggling to find much info about this vest though. Firstly, I can't find any other makers of it anywhere - Buzz Ricksons do something similar, but all sold out now unfortunately. Anyone know of anyone who does their own version?
Secondly, is this even a real, historically accurate style? I have seen photos of guys (USMC mainly) wearing similar ones, but none have pockets. Difficult to pin down the exact colours used as well.
