Wool Knit Vests / Waistcoats

[jkingrph]

While not knit, I have been wearing these vests from Filson for several years now

http://www.filson.com/products/mack...lsProduct=mens/vests-liners&fmetaProduct=1011

They are a dense woven wool, and in cold weather very warm, but when it warms up not hot and here in E. Texas that's saying a lot for a comfort range where it can be in mid to upper 20's in morning and up to mid 70's by afternoon in the winter. Unless it's extremely cold and windy, I will pair with a lightweight windbraker in the mornings.

Got another one of these made up for me from a vintage knitting pattern I have. Went with brown this time, and added a little extra to the length

Nice! Custom or self made items bring the biggest satisfaction. It's great to have an one of a kind item just made for you.

Here is one for zee germans. Saw it at Peek&Cloppenburg from their brand "McNeal". Kinda nice and not too long.

Thanks to a post by Damian on Facebook, I actually just got the exact same one on Etsy! I recieved it today. It's pretty fantastic.

hard to find originals and but those will do.

I really love the costumes from Jeeves and Wooster. Any info if they are vintage originals?

 

[herringbonekid]

Flo, i haven't seen the series, but knowing other UK period series from that time - early 90s, 'Poirot' - i'd imagine 80 % original.

 

[Guttersnipe]

The majority of the costumes in Jeeves and Wooster are original vintage pieces, although you occasionally spot items that look later than the early 30s setting.

I recently picked this up at a thrift shop for a handful of change. It certainly looks vintage but google doesn't seem to know what it is. It's not really my style but I'm going to wear it often because it's very warm.

'80s or '90s, I think.
